8. ...

:thumbsup: And also, Canada and Europe provide health care for their citizens paid in part with gas taxes, don't they? What do we get? Nada, zip, zero! But the oil industry gets mega profits from us US drivers.

4. If you check California vs Toronto over the last six years according to this site it looks like we

have payed more on average. I just thought it was an interesting site for comparison purposes.

5. It appears that the US average vs Toronto over 6 years has been pretty consistent

about ten cents higher. Those prices are in Canadian cents per liter, if i read that correctly.

6. It looks like they take into effect the currency exchange rate so the results are comparable.

"Comparison of US and Canadian cities is done using recent currency exchange rates and uses the conversion factor of 1 US gallon being equal to 3.78 liters. For simple plotting of US cities use dollars per gallon ($/G) and for simple plotting of Canadian cities use cents/liter (c/L)."
