From today’s Gazette – the photo was taken in South Daytona, Florida. Prices in Montreal hit 99.9 cents per litre yesterday.
I’ve been trying to figure out the equation needed to give an accurate equivalent in US money and gallons, but hey, I’m an English prof. Gimme a break. Suffice it to say, gas ain’t cheap.
I think to the give the US or UK equivalent, imagine paying a dollar a gallon or a pound a litre in the UK (we’re currently at around 80 pence/litre). You can convert, but that would be more like how prices are for tourists rather than those living in Canada making Canadian dollars, if that makes sense.
At any rate, that’s just nuts. Jeez.
No, the previous comment makes no sense. Allow me to shed light on the situation. Lets see…. there are 3.78 litres in a U.S. gallon….. we are in Canada where the price per litre is .999 a litre… the train left Montreal at 9:00 in the morning heading east towards Toronto at 100 kmh….the exchange rate is about 1.40$ Canadian for an Armenian nickel…Soooooo….. ahhah! It is a dreadfully good idea to do more walking.
Yes, but trains use deisel – isn’t that a different price? And what’s the altitude?
Fell out of bed feelnig down. This has brightened my day!
