The currency conversion above has overstated the US price. The actualy
conversion would result in a price of $2.55 US for an imperial gallon.
The conversion factor is .71 X Canadian Dollar amount.

Er, last I checked the UK pound was going for $1.60(US). And the last I
checked there were 3.785 Litres per US Gal. Cranking .789 Pounds per Litre
through the calculations I get:
(.789pounds/litre)x(3.785litres/Gal(US))x(1.6 Dollars(US)/Pound) =
$4.78(US)
Dividing $4.78(US) by (.71 $(US)/$Cdn) = $6.73(Cdn)
At least that's ther results I get.
