TOO much for a litre of gas.

Ack, dagnabit. We're paying 85 cents for a litre of unleaded regular in Montreal. That works out to $3.23 Canadian for a US gallon. But when you think about it, we also pay about $1 per litre of skim milk. So the left-brained comment I got at work was "Buckle up, Maude! From now on the cat drinks unleaded!"
