About 82 cents (CDN) per litre for 87 octane right now. But it's been coming down a bit lately, and I might be able to fill up later today for around $.80.

This is dated by a few years, but the analogies are still valid.
------ THE HIGH PRICE OF GASOLINE You think a gallon of gasoline is expensive? Here are a few things that Auto week brought to our attention to compare. This is what it costs to buy a gallon of... Diet Snapple 16oz for $1.29 equals $10.32 per gallon Lipton Ice Tea 16oz for $1.19 equals $ 9.52 per gallon Gatorade 20oz for $1.59 equals $ 10.17 per gallon Ocean Spray 16oz for $1.25 equals $ 10.00 per gallon STP Brake Fluid 12oz for $3.15 equals $ 33.60 per gallon Vick's Nyquil 6oz for $8.35 equals $ 178.13 per gallon Pepto Bismol 4oz for $3.85 equals $123.20 per gallon Whiteout 7oz for $1.39 equals $254.17 per gallon Scope (mouthwash) 1.5oz for $0.99 equals $ 84.84 per gallon And this is the REAL KICKER... Evian water 9oz for $1.49 equals $ 21.19 per gallon... You get the idea... So next time you're at the pump, be glad your car doesn't run on Nyquil! If I could convert my Mustang to run on farts, I'd be set for life. |

BTW, I just saw 87 octane unleaded for $1.25 per gallon, so gas prices are definitely coming down. NPM |

As of last night, 69c/L here for unleaded, which is as low as it's been in, well, years edit to add: "LPG is the generic name for commercial propane and commercial butane." http://www.lpga.co.uk/LPGA.htm |
