Gas here (Ottawa) costs .539-.609/L (~$2.50 CDN/gal. = $1.80 US/gal.).
Regular, of course (what else would you put in a Dak?).
Since you mentioned that gas where you live is nudging the dollar-per-
gallon mark: according to some guy I know who was actually driving at
the time, the metric system was rammed through when gas hit $1CDN/gal.
(circa 1975), so that it could be priced per litre.
Apparently, gas price signs were the very first thing (before road signs,
liquor bottles, etc.) to change after the law was passed. Maybe your days
of non-metricness are numbered. <grin>
