Ugh...don't even talk to me about the taxes the Provincial Governments put on petrol here in Canada.
Example: The Husky station down the street sells petrol at around 85 cents/litre.
I live about ten or fifteen minutes from the border, and right across there are two petrol stations that specifically market to Canadians...the price there? 39 cents/litre.
20 dollars only filled half of my tank...20 dollars state side? Almost filled the whole thing.
There are so many people in town going to the states for petrol that when crossing back into Canada the conversation with the guards goes something like this:
Guard: (Doesn't even bother to ask if I live in Canada) Bringing anything back into Canada?
Me: Nothin but gas.
Guard: Have a good day.
