Gas Prices in Canada?
 
I'll be leaving for a vacation in New Brunswick and the Gaspe in a couple weeks. Could someone give me an idea what gasoline prices are running in that area? Thanks.

According to the M J Ervin survey, as of June 13, regular unleaded at self service stations was 81.2˘ per litre in Gaspé and between 74.9˘ and 78.9˘ per litre in New Brunswick.

Can someone convert that to Price Per Gallon. Tks.

First, thanks to Ron for the quick and authoritative response. A gallon is 3.79 liters, so at CD$.80 per liter, that's CD$3 per gallon. I think the conversion is somewhere around .7 at the moment, so that would be close to US$ 2.10 per gallon.

Thanks for the reply. Would you believe we (8 of us) sat around a table in Nova Scotia trying to figure this out - of course the fact that we all had a little wine didn't help. Math was never my favorite. I am going to print this one for future use. The only time I can ever come close to the right figure is at full tank time. A full tank is a full tank. Using the .7 conversion factor, I will pay approx the same for gas in Nova Scotia as we do here.
