canada gas math ?
 

Ok, In Toronto now and gas is 1.11 per L CA, thus with US $ exchange rate of .88 the US per gallon price is just under $4.00 a gallon US. Is my math about right ?. If so, gas is about a dollar lower than last summer !.

There are 3.785 liters in a US gallon. The current price in Toronto went down to C$1.16/L. Therefore, a US gallon costs C$4.40. If you use a credit card, you pay about 90 cents for a C$. So that's $3.95 US. In the US, the price is about $1 less. So if you want to buy gas, don't come to Canada for it.

And especially not Vancouver where we are at $1.30/L these days. Was $1.55 in June and over $1.43 just in Aug/Sept.

Thanks for the 3.785 #.
- Gas at COSTCO today was 1.11 per L. and my AMEX rate was .884. Thus less than $ 100 us to fill my 26 gallon tank !

-What i wont buy in Canada is any 'dairy' products. But it looks like PM Harper might make a deal with New Zealand on dairy products this week.

Not a fan of hormone free dairy?? ;)

Quota system does suck, but regulations do lead to better quality dairy.

Quite - I love the fact that all the Canadian dairy I buy is hormone free!

I wouldn't say not to lower pricing on the European cheese I buy mind you!

Edmonton
 

It's 99.4 or 99.9 per litre in most places here with the odd station at 98.9!

What drives me wild is when gasoline prices jump 10c a litre over night... that's 35c/gal US. Could you imagine that nonsense occurring south of the border? They'd riot; here we just shrug. I hate the market manipulation and await the day someone invents a battery that can run an electric car in -40*C weather.

Where do you live where it regularly gets to -40C? Yellowknife?

Even there it's an infrequent event.

In Toronto your average low in January is -7C.

(Only humans are impacted by windchill.)

Winnipeg occasionally sees -40C, albeit only a few times per decade.

Eleven of Canada's cities can expect at least one night of -30 °C weather each winter.

Average number of days in winter when the temperature drops below -30 °C (-22 °F). City Days:

Winnipeg, Manitoba 12
Regina, Saskatchewan 11
Thunder Bay, Ontario 7
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan 7
Saguenay, Quebec 7
Sherbrooke, Quebec 5
Calgary, Alberta 3
Sudbury, Ontario 3
Edmonton, Alberta 3
Trois-Rivières, Quebec 3
Québec City, Quebec 1

You guys should move to Michigan.

It doesn't need to get to -40 before electric cars' range are seriously depleted - it can start happening as low as -5, in part because heating the interior uses a lot of energy.

Yes but it really depends on the quality of the electric car. In theory, yes. but a some electric cars (Model S) are equipped with a compensation system for the battery; keeps it cool in summer and warm in the winter- you lose some power of course, but it isn't enough to break a sweat over or have you considering other options

I think what kills the electric car are these sort of edge use-cases.

"It works poorly at -40."

"I drove to Alberta in 2007. Couldn't do that in an electric car."

I'd love a Nissan Leaf - Unfortunately (or fortunately), I live in Vancouver, so I can't afford one.

Under 1.oo L ?
 

Ok, in Toronto the Costco gas price is only 1.07 L today, so if Alberta crude is projected at $ 75 for 2015 average, will there be less than 1.00 L in 2015 ??
