Paul -

Where the heck do you live?? Diesel at the pump is around $4.20 where
I am (WI), so you subtract the taxes and get retail fuel oil at around
$3.80 (ish). Holy cow!

Hi Jake,

I'm in Halifax, Nova Scotia and I currently pay $1.109 per litre
which, if my math is correct, translates to be $4.17 per gallon (i.e.,
1 U.S. gallon = 3.76 litres). Taxes extra.

Mind you, it could be worse. The average price is reported to be
$129.9 per litre in Victoria, B.C. and that converts to a whopping
$4.88 per gallon ($5.13 with tax).
