David - Uh, let me get out my calculator!  Let's see, I think there are
3.78Liters/US gallon?  29.9cents/L in B.C.?  That's, uh, $1.13/gal, BUT
Canadian dollars are different than US dollars, eh?  Uh, I have no idea
what the conversion is, but I've heard that if I bring a US Dollar into
Canada, I get MORE than one Canadian Dollar in exchange!  Now, you've
confused me with the 49.9cents/L in Quesnel, which looks like $1.89/gal
Canadian?  JEEZ, when are you guys going to convert to the "Euro"???

All I know is that I can fill me Vanagon tank with 93 octane for about
$1.00/gal-US which means gasoline is cheaper than when my grandfather
managed to get his Ford back in 1912, all things considered!  Have you
asked any of the European Tribesmen just what they are having to pay for
93 octane juice?  I'm ALL for burning up Middle Eastern oil and keeping
ours for our private use when the Sheiks' run out.
