Energy

[John Ross]

Ours down here is $.999, a litre. Close enough to $4.54 an imperial gallon. 
So take off 20%, gives you a US gallon. So I guess that is $3.63 Cdn, for a 
US gallon. Now since our $ is trading at roughly (real rough), that makes it 
about $2.90 US for a US gallon.
I know that some math whiz will recalculate, and prove me wrong. But all I 
am saying is, we pay more than you guys/gals south of the border.
Have a good 4th.
