hi with the cost of a litre of petrol here in the uk averaging 103.9 per litre ,how much does a litre of petrol cost in canada especially around calgary ,as thats where im headed cheers

Hi we are about 90 mins from Calgary and currently its 95.6 cents per litre however if you have a duel fuel propane tank its around 50 cents a litre for that

Just seen the news that due to the soaring oil prices fuel may be expected to rise to $1.30 by spring!!!

Still way below UK so if you have a nice nippy town car brilliant, however if you have a five million litre truck (it seems anything below 4 litre engine here is sissy!) then beware!!!

Price of gas (petrol) went up yesterday at most of the majors (Esso Shell etc) it is now 105.9

You can get it still as low as 90.9 at the Tsuu T'ina Gas Stop on the reservation.

Here's a good website to keep you informed on Calgary gasoline prices.

I guess we're a bit luckier here in Creston as we are only 10-15 mins from the border. Gas in town is 105.9 but we hop over the border to Porthill and buy it for only 76.9.

Sounds like what we're paying. I think it's 103 in Windsor, but just over the bridge it works out to 77 or 78 a litre (they helpfully do the maths and signpost the Canadian litre equivalent as I'd never manage the conversions ).

Here it was 118.9 and has now gone down (!) to 115.9

Saw it at £1.06/l yesterday, roll on Calgary.

Isn't the price in Canada per gallon?

Or is that just USA who do that.

Gas only comes in litres here. The locals tell me that "pints" and "gallons" are only used to measure rum .

Price in Canada always per liter.

We've gone metric don't ya know.

Oh don't get me started.....gas in litres, distance in kilometres, building supplies in feet, inches and cubits, drinks in fluid ounces, friggin screwed up country........:curse::curse:

...and fuel consumption, which is mostly MPG!

Yeah, fuel consumption is in 'litres per 100km' which means phuq all to most people so we translate it to mpg.

Note for those unaware: Canadian gallon is the same as UK gallon (4.4545 l) not the US gallon which is smaller.

This mind sound ridiculous to everyone actually living in Canada already - but doesn't anybody drive diesel cars/trucks over there???

It seems all references are to petrol(gas)
