Let's have another check at the gas situation now, shall we? If you'll remember from June 7:

Price of gas on the way to Port Huron: $1.26 - $1.29 per litre
Price of gas in Port Huron: 3.94 per gallon; 1.04 per litre
Amount of fuel pumped: 9.495 gallons; 36.08 litres
Cost of fill-up: $37.40

Estimated cost of this fill-up in Ontario (@ $1.27 per litre): $45.82
Money saved by filling up across the border: $8.42

Here's some updated numbers from yesterday's trip. Even though we filled Mary's parent's van, I'll keep the quantity the same so it's an accurate comparison:

Price of gas on the way to Port Huron: $1.35 - $1.39 per litre
Price of gas in Port Huron: 4.11 per gallon; 1.08 per litre
Amount of fuel pumped: 9.495 gallons; 36.08 litres
Cost of fill-up: $39.02

Estimated cost of this fill-up in Ontario (@ $1.37 per litre): $49.43
Money saved by filling up across the border: $10.41

It's getting even cheaper to fill up over there! Unbelievable!
