The Canadian gallon is not the same as the U.S. gallon. The Canadian gallon uses 5 qts. not 4.

Last time I visited Canada, gas cost me more Canadian dollars per gallon that U.S. dollars per gallon in the states. Ditto for coffee, pop, candy bars, fast-food, etc. In many cases, portions were smaller. I'd buy a large coffee at McDonalds in Canada and it'd be a lot smaller than a U.S. large.

KS> They just won't believe me but I swear to god it's true. I distinctly remember this. I don't remember the flocking part, but I clearly remember a brief time back when I was a teenager that the Canadian dollar was worth a few cents more than ours. So now you've found at least one person who believes. Canada's my favorite vacation destination, btw. I had the holidays off and tried to convince my daughter to go on a rail/bus trip to Moosonee. I was really excited about the idea, but Jenny wouldn't hear of it. She actually got mad at me for even suggestion we travel farther north. So I gave up on Moosonee for now, and I'm looking at maybe doing a weekend rail trip to Hearst with my son.
