Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert price per litre to price per gallon?
Multiply the price per litre by 3.785, the number of litres in a US gallon. For example, $1.50/L × 3.785 = $5.68 per gallon, in the same currency.
How do I compare Canadian and US gas prices?
Convert the Canadian price per litre to price per gallon, then convert Canadian dollars to US dollars with today's exchange rate. This tool does both steps at once, so you can see the Canadian price in US dollars per gallon.
Is a Canadian gallon the same as a US gallon?
No. Canada sells gas by the litre, but the old imperial gallon is 4.546 L, about 20% larger than the 3.785 L US gallon. US gas stations always use US gallons, so this tool uses the US gallon.
Is it worth driving to the US for cheaper gas?
Compare both prices in the same unit and currency first, then count the fuel you burn getting there and back. A full 50 L tank saves $5 for every 10 cents per litre difference, so a short trip across the border usually only pays off with a big price gap.
