It's cents/L. E.g., 105.9 is $1.059 per litre.
Prices have always tended to be cheaper on the US side. Taxes are
gouged at different rates in each province. E.g., Quebec's fuel taxes
are higher than Ontario's. Given the increased security & huge
line-ups to cross the border, it's up to you to determine if it's
worth the wait, or see if you can go across in an off-peak time.
It's still cheaper than in Europe, but we're getting closer.
http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_can_gastemperaturemap.aspx shows the prices
around Canada & also in the US.
A US gallon is about 3.8 L.
