OK it's my turn
Up here in Kelowna B,C. Canada
The price of gas is 57.9 Regular and 67.9 for Premium per liter
So that's 57.9 per liter times 4.54 = $2.63 per Imperial gal Regular, and
$3.08 per Imperial gal on Premium. Sorry Don't know the conversion factor
for a USA gallon. I get 19MPG steady going to and from work 5 days a week
at 50 miles per hour.
