$1.30/l in Toronto right now which equates to just about 5.00/gallon not including any exchange calculation. I think our 's are close enough to par to make it a rounding error though. ---

Calgary here. $1.11/L for gas, so about $4.20/gallon for our truck. Our car is diesel and was $1.08/L the other day, so about $4.09/gallon. I saw on the news the other day that the West Coast has already hit $1.40/L ($5.30/gallon)! ---

San Diego. Over $4.50 per gallon, about a week ago. The prices here-abouts seem to go up the closer the station is to a freeway. ---
