Try 29.9 cents/L, dude.

I was in Ladner last night, and decided to head down to PR for gas since it was only a 10 min drive or so. It was 10pm when I got to the border, and OMFG the line up was backed up all the way to the traffic light. Nexus was already closed by then, and there was only 1 lane open at the US side. It wasn't pretty.


I ran some numbers after I got home, and Shell V-Power 92 octane gas turned out to be ~$1.524/L after exchange rate and my minimal $0.03/gal Fuel Rewards discount. By comparison, local 91 octane gas is around $1.719/L, though Shell V-Power is probably a touch more expensive.

Lastly, if I were to do a return trip from home to PR, it'd cost me $7+ for gas. A return trip to Blaine would be almost $9, although Blaine gas would be a touch cheaper.
