There is currently about a 5 percent difference between US and Canadian dollars.
Keep in mind that gas prices are never a good basis for comparison from one country to another. Most of the difference in prices is due to the different taxes charged in each country.
Also, if I’m doing the math right, your $0.77/liter for US gas works out to $2.91 a gallon. Around where I live, gas is well under $2.80 a gallon. Your comparison is really not accurate.
