It was to the stop. I figured I had a nearly dry tank and managed to stuff a few extra ounces into the filler neck. I do carry a gas can, so I can be a little more cavalier than most with how empty my tank gets!Quote:

My math is probably way off but I think gas is way cheaper here than there. It's .91/liter here. Am I on glue or is this correct? .91/.264 gallon(us), $3.44(cad)/gallon, with exchange rate works out to $2.58/gallon here vs $3.24/gallon there.Quote:

There are 3.785 liters in a US gallon. So at C$0.91/liter, that would be C$3.58 a gallon. Factor in the .75-to-1 exchange rate, and that equals US$2.68 a gallon.
Right? So gas is cheaper in Canada now than it was in Washington back in the summer of 2015. Yeah, I'd buy that. The question would be how much was a liter of gas in Canada back then?
My latest fill:
34.7 L (9.2 US gal) into a 35L (9.25 US gal) tank.
Sort of...
I panicked when I saw no bars and the flashing-fuel-gauge-of-imminent-catastrophe, so I added 3 L (0.8 US gal) of gas that I was carrying. I added another 31.7 L (8.37 US gal) when I got back to my preferred gas station (about 30 km / 19 mi. away)
You'd have to take away the amount of fuel it took to go from the 3L top-up point to the gas station. Maybe 1.2 L?
My Attrage / G4 has a 42 Liter / 11,1 US gal fuel tank.
The most i ever got in was 37,1 liter / 9,8 US gal.
According to my fuel logs, it was my first fill up when I got the car. 7.809 gallons. I haven't really pushed it to the 9 gallon mark yet. I'm averaging 7.2 to 7.5 gallons when the fuel gauge is blinking.
Didn't you fill up before you started that 240 miles trip, or did you really burn 9 gallons on 250 miles, which is less than 30mpg?Quote:
