Just went down a couple of pennies...was around a buck a liter.
So for argument sake, 4 bucks a gallon.
Diesel is around 111 to 112 a liter....$4.40 to $4.50 a gallon
gas @ $.959 = $3.61 per US gal ($4.315 per Imperial ( Canadian Gallon ) gallon )

How's that for a sale guys! I cut "SALE" off in the pic, crappy photographer
Freakin' insane...mostly taxes.![]()
But if we're comparing to our US counterparts we need to normalize the dollar value.
$.958 * 3.78 = 3.62 CAD per US gallon
Which equals $2.74 USD per US gallon
Diesel in the outskirts of the Ottawa area is ~$1.09 CAD per liter right now.
$1.09 * 3.78 = 4.12 CAD per US gallon
= $3.12 USD per gallon
guess it depends on the day/hour/minute what the exchange rate is - lol
I can't imagine a difference of 3 mpg. My gasoline powered truck got 11 mpg empty. Pulling my 28' trailer it got 4 -5. The diesel it got replaced with got 22 empty and 18 with the trailer loaded. Pre DPF truck. The diesel had a least twice the torque and would fly up the mountains around here while the gas truck had to be revved out and screaming to make the climbs. I would NEVER recommend a gas engine. Retired truck driver/mechanic 45 years and yes I drove the old gas semi's that got less than 2 mpg's!dollar a gallon difference, makes my cost per mile slightly better then a diesel. This is assuming 10 mpg diesel and 7 mpg gas. Gas around here is running 1.97, diesel generally 80 cents more.
