$1.04 per liter in Brantford - $3.93 / US gallon
$1.79 in Windsor - 6.77 / US Gallon
$2.50 in Statford apparently - $9.46 / US Gallon


Thats a huge freaking difference. What gives (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

EDIT-

You know the more I thought about this, the more it makes no sense.

Example - Assume you had a car that had a 16 gallon tank and got 26 miles per gallon. You could go 416 miles on that tank of gas. At Brantford - it costs $62.88 to fill up the tank. At Statford it costs $151.36. This means if you lived less than 292.5 (585 round trip) miles from Brantford it would pay you to drive instead of getting gas at Statford (assuming the two are 292.50 miles or less apart - I have no freaking clue where they are).

Oh and also dismissing the fact that you would run out of gas before you got back because you only have a range of 416 miles in your car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
