For Those Of Us Who Never Quite Got This Metric Thing

The online litre/gallon converter - using an updated input of $1.20 per litre - shows $5.46 per Canadian gallon and $4.54 per American gallon.

Working from this, and adjusting mathematically for the larger imperial gallon, gas would have been $3.72 per gallon back when I started driving back in 1980/81 (which was another high point for gas prices, apparently).

Anyone under 40 can probably ignore this post.

I remember paying 35 cents per liter back in the 80s when I lived in Alberta. Hard to believe now!
