I have not been to Canada since the 1950's. But back then t it was the "Imperial Gallon", which was 5 quarts. I was too young to drive but remember the adults saying the price was about the same as US.

Is there a decimal point missing in the "121.9CN"?
Traveled man ? .... 27 countries.. half of them multiple times and that was after my tour in the US Navy . Lived extensively in three and own property out right in two .
Why reside in Florida ? .... no winters for one.... cheap real estate when I got here for another
But Sam... I'm sure you would like to hear the "real" reason ....
cheap margaritas and immigrants to take advantage of.....
Explanatory note: Gas prices in Canada are shown as cents per litre so a price of 121.9 would actually be $1.219 per litre (Canadian dollars). As of today a Canadian dollar is worth 77.4 US cents. So the price in US dollars would be $.9435 US dollars per litre. That equates to .9435 x 3.7854 = $3.57 US dollars per US gallon
None of that matters if using USD in southern Canada. While they may take the cash, the price is still the same whether using Loonies or Greenbacks. (Good luck using Loonies a mile south of the border) Price conversions only work in banking, not at the pumps.

I don’t buy anything in Canada that can’t be bought with a credit card. That’s the only way to get the current exchange rate. We tried to do some shopping in Niagra-On-The-Lake, ON on a previous visit and noticed that some of the shops didn’t accept credit cards and wouldn’t give us the exchange rate, so we didn’t buy anything. I guess it’s their way of making a few bucks off the Yanks who burned their little town during the war of 1812. Beautiful place though.
