That works out to 4.65 / gal; 4.76 / gal; 4.92 / gal; in ascending octane order.

Here in Virginia, near Washington DC, this week we had 3.67/g; 3.87/g; 3.98/g; again in order.

That works out to 1.39/l; 1.47/l; 1.51/l; just for reference.

I didn't want to take us off topic here too far but I was just curious. I spent most of last year in various parts of Canada and most everything is pretty expensive up there by comparison.

We're a bit more expensive here than in other parts of the US by far.

Of course you're using Loonies (Canadian Dollars) as well. So if we factor in the exchange rate.... We won't go there.

I do remember when one bought Canadian fuel in Imperial Gallons.

It really fowled up my mpg calculations back then until I figured out that there were 5 quarts in an Imperial Gallon.

Thanks

07 FJC 6MT So far pretty standard.

Looks like this FJ is going to be a money pit.
