Idling around 1.50/L to 1.55/L depending on where you are in/out of the city.

also depending on if you have a US based credit card

 

[MrCypherr]

I've thought about that since I travel to the US alot and was curious if it was actually worth it or not haha.

It was pretty significant when we were in Wallaceburg. Exchange rate was something. like 73 cents on the dollar. We didn't know for sure until the transactions came through on the bank statements though. We both ate breakfast at The Black Goose for $18 and change, as it turned out. Cash tip of course.

So its actually cheaper to get a US based credit card rather than using my Canadian one over the border.

If you can get US dollars at a better exchange rate to pay it off, then yes.

It definitely was for us when we were in Canada. I didn't buy fuel because I didn't know how it was going to play out, the actual cost wasn't noted on the receipts, just the posted cost. The credit card company did the computing of the exchange rate and that adjusted cost showed up on the CC statement, not receipts. I think fuel costs would have been close to even. The exchange rate would be something to keep an eye on. We purchased everything we could with cards and it paid off. I don't know what rates normally are, but 70 some cents on the dollar is what we paid. It might not work that way for you with funds coming from a Canadian bank. You might want to check into that.

My last fill at the end of August was $1.779/L in Victoria, BC, Canada. Prices here have been pretty steady through the spring and summer here, surprisingly. Just some minor fluctuations of 2-3 cents. And with my current driving habits, I'm only putting in about 45-55 liters a month.

 

[oldsoul]

$2.97-$3.09 for RUG. $3.47-$3.57 for diesel on the MN Iron Range. Slightly more in Grand Rapids, MN (+10 cents last weekend). Slightly less towards Duluth, MN (sub $3.00RUG before last price drop here).

 

[kjclow]

Dropped to $3.17 in SC. Cheapest I saw for my trip back to Iowa was $2.99 but didn't need fuel when I rolled by that station.

As for exchange rates, it's really dependent on your credit and debit cards. I have a few that do not charge an exchange rate. IIRC, my work card did but then I didn't worry about those charges.
