    Back when Canada was using Imperial gallons for gasoline and the exchange
    rate was about par it felt like getting a discount. Now between the 1 USD
    to .72 CAS and liters it feels very expensive.

    1.439 x .72 x 3.79 isn't something I can work out standing by the pump. At least kph to mph is fairly easy. Unfortunately when the road sign says 60
    it doesn't really mean 60. mph.
