Fuel prices in Canada are indeed more; and, like the US, it varies from region to region. Now that our dollar is slightly above the US$, the exchange rate might have some, slight negative impact on US travellers who pay for gas in US funds.
The last time I checked, our fuel prices were, on average, approximately 25%-30% higher. I haven't seen any 40% difference but there well may be.
Regardless of which side of the border you live on, it hurts just as much when you pull up to the pump.
And just to think that Easter usually marks the beginning of the price increase. It will get worse. Not a Happy Easter thought!
