    gas in great Montréal: 1.52CA$/L

    gas in USA couples minutes drive: 1.12$CA/L

    I just filled my tank, ~60L, saved 24$CA

        Yup I was surprised to see the gallon for US$3, so 3*1.4 (exchange rate) = CA$4.2 per gallon, divide per 3.78 and it makes CA$1.11 per liter

      Generally pump prices aren’t greatly influenced by oil prices, unless there are large swings. I don’t recall the exact breakdown of the pump price but there are explainers out there. What stuck with me is that the oil price isn’t a huge driver.

        Pump prices are affected by oil price: when oil goes up, pump price goes up. When oil goes down, pump price goes up. Simple as that ;)
