Gas prices compared: USA vs Canada

This screenshot is from USA Today:


Compare that to today's prices around Vancouver, B.C. :


Please note that the average price around here today is $1.36687 per liter, so we have to multiply that by 4.54 to get the price per Imperial Gallon, which works out to $6.20 per gallon, or virtually double the American price. And some of that American product originates in this country. So how would you spell 'rip-off'?

Putting that another way, this US price on a per liter basis is 84.5 cents per liter, the US gallon containing fewer liters than ours (3.785 L to our 4.54 L).
