Gas in Canada is around $.60/litre for regular (87 Octane). For a US 
gallon you need 3.78 litres. So 3.78 x .60 = $2.26 Canadian. In US 
dollars the exchange fluxes slightly but 1.37 Canadian. Since our US 
friends will be buying Canadian dollars the reciprocal 1/1.37 = .73
US buys $1.00 CAN

OK $2.26 x .73 = $1.65 US/gal. of regular.
