      FWIW haven’t seen gas that cheap here in the USA for a while either.

      I bet some places have had it that low, but $3/gallon is the cheapest I’ve seen in years

        USD 3/gallon = CAD 1.109/litre

        That’s still cheaper than I’ve seen for quite a while, though I have seen close. When converted, the gas prices where I live are closer to around USD 3.5-4/gallon. It does occasionally dip down to closer to what you were saying, though not quite.

        Edit: just checked, gas station near me is 138.6 (we measure in cents here, so CAD 1.386/litre). That’s USD 3.75/gallon.

          That’s a fair bit more, I pay ~3.50/gallon on average, but for premium.

          Regular is like 2.75 rn it turns out

          I don’t buy gas very often

            If I lived in Alberta I could probably get it that cheap, but then I’d need to live in Alberta.

            For reference, Alberta is sort of our Texas. Our last federal election, Alberta was 92% conservative. The premier there (basically governor) is also a MAGAt Trump supporter and was trying to fight for more independence which probably means joining the States. Not that it’ll happen but that’s the mentality of the government there, and a lot of its people too.
