1 us gallon is 3.79 liter so the gallon if $2.89us and .95ca liter the gallon would be cheaper $ wise depending on the exchange rate of the us and can$. However if I can remember correctly at the time you are asking the exchange rate was around 1.26 for buying us with can$ and that would make it $3.64ca per gallon and gas is always charged to the tenth of a cent ei; $2.89.9 in reality is 2.90 less .01 per 10 gallons so in ca$ the liter would be $3.60 per gallon and in the us you would pay $3.64ca per gallon so there for making it about the same but .04 per gallon more expensive in the us. BUT it is always wiser to fill in Canada if possible in the winter because with the additives they can use vs the additives in the US it mean higher octane and better mpg.
All of this being my experience, I am no expert,just a penny pincher!!
85 Cents per gallon is cheaper, which is a rate of about 22.43 cents per liter.
per gallon is cheaper than 1 liter. 1 gallon = 3.785 liters so 1 gallon is .85 and 3.785 liters is .956.
IF you meant 25 cents per litre - it would be cheaper to buy it at 85 cents per gallon. At 25c/litre it would cost approx $1.125 per gallon
The cost of food and goods was much cheaper in 1980. For example, the cost of a gallon of milk was just over 60 cents, while a loaf of bread was only 54 cents.
To "nickel and dime yourself" basically means to be obsessed over the small details that would not matter in the overall scheme of things. A good example would be when someone will drive an extra 25 miles to get cheaper gasoline when the price is only 4 cents higher where they are now. If you get 25 miles to the gallon (approximately) it will cost you an extra gallon of gas to get the cheaper price. If gas is $2.50 per gallon, then you spent an extra 2.50 to get to the cheaper pump, when 4 cents extra a gallon is only a difference of 40 cents per ten gallons. This is not very efficient, and hardly worth someone's time. This is known as "nickel and diming yourself."
55 cents a gallon
Gas was less than $.20 per gallon in 1950. With inflation it actually is cheaper today to buy a gallon of gas.
18.4 cents per gallon for gas; 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel.
Although this is a marketing ploy today, ($3.599 just looks cheaper than $3.60 even though it is a miniscule amount), many, many years ago, when gasolone was 15 cents per gallon or so, a tenth of a penny per gallon was a meaningful difference (15.4 cents per gallon vs. 15.5 cents epr gallon), so a price per gallon down to a tenth of a cent made sense.
About 5 cents
In 1925, the average price of gas was 10 cents a gallon.
I should ask your Grandad. In the UK it was about 4 shillings per gallon (we still had shillings then) and I recall it was about $2.80 to the pound, so that would make it about 50 cents to the gallon, but it was probably cheaper in the US
