I was in Canada this week and gas was $0.79 at liter in Windsor. Still much higher than in Toledo $1.96 a gallon. It seems everything is much more expensive in Canada. Maybe it is so they can pay for the excellent health care system they have up there.
I live in Sarnia, Ontario (aka chemical valley). We MAKE gasoline 3 miles from my house!
I paid $CDN 0.929 per liter yesterday ($US 3.08 if I converted volume and currency correctly). It is $US 2.89 in Port Huron, Michigan which is just 5 minutes across the border bridge.
Gas is higher in Sarnia than most other places in Ontario. Why? Get ready for it - according to the refiners it is due to transportation costs! Did I tell you I can see the refinery flares from my front door? Somehow it is more expensive to ship to my local gas station than to Windsor!
Canadian
beer is cheaper in the US. Turkeys (made in Canada) are almost free in the US. Restaurant meals are way cheaper. Home Depot - don't get me started.
My taxes for this year - 60%!
OK - now I'm all depressed. The only good thing, the doctor visits and the pills will be free!
