lew Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 My new boat holds 40 U.S. gallons & I'm thinking that is equal to roughly 32 gallons Canadian. Am I correct ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Here's the conversion... 1 U.S. Gallon = 0.83267 Canadian (Imperial) Gallons 1 Can Gallon = 1.201 U.S. Gallons So, 40 US Gallons = 33.3 Canadian Gallons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greencoachdog Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 ... but since they sell gas in Canada by the liter, you can expect to pump 152 liters into that baby the first time you fill'er up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guidofisherman Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Yes, you are fairly close. Actually, 33.3 gal or 151.4 litres. Here is a link to a program I keep on my desktop to do all sorts of conversions. This free little application will convert things like: volume, flow, temperature, mass, distance, etc. I find it very handy. http://joshmadison.com/article/convert-for-windows I also checked it with McAfee SiteAdvisor first.

The dealers paying for the 1st tank for me Glen and then it's my $$$$ after that, but I'm old school and still work in feet, pounds & gallons, and it definetely sounds cheaper when you only need 33 gallons compared to 152 litres Thanks for those other links fellers, some useful stuff there.

Beans Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) Let's talk dollars Lew... 152 liters @$0.80 per liter = $121.60 $121.60 divided by 33 Cdn gallons = $3.68 per gallon Cripes ...whatever happened to that gas station out on Kingston Road near West Hill that used to sell gas for $0.29 a gallon ???

Billy Bob Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 When I pumped gas as a 18 year old kid the Exxon I worked at right in front of the Buffalo International Airport was charging 36 cents per gallon and we were the HIGHEST around. We charge a lot more because we were more interested in repair jobs and the owner wanted to make it our worth while to get out from under a car and pump gas. BTW our gas has been rising lately. The Noco by my house is now $2.15 per gallon but I went crappie fishing today and got gas at the Res for $1.99 per gallon. The Indians are NOT discounting it very much now for some reason. We usually get between 30 - 40 cents off per gallon at the Res. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
