Gasoline
Toronto | Vancouver | Halifax | Winnipeg | |
Regular gas | $1.51/litre | $1.75/litre | $1.50/litre | $1.40/litre |
Supreme gas (Premium gas) | $1.65/litre | $1.90/litre | $1.80/litre | $1.70/litre |
Diesel | $1.50/litre | $1.75/litre | $1.50/litre | $1.40/lire |
The experts are projecting that regular gas will hot $1.90/litre in Toronto within two months
- calculate how much it costs to fill up a 60 litre tank (regular gas only) in these places
Cost: $1.51 x 60 litres = $90.60 (regular gas, Kwok needs to refuel once every ten days)
$1.65 x 60 litres = $99 (supreme gas, really expensive)
- trucks use diesel fuel – dirty, black smoke, bad for the environment (diesel fuel produces more power; harder to start in cold weather)
- Alternatives: Electric cars, expensive Tesla is over $100,000; EV – short range (cannot take road trips, Tesla 350km for one full charged engine)
- other electric cars (Toyota Prius, Nissan Leaf, GM Volt, Mitsubishi), range is only 200Km
- cold weather is bad for the battery – low temperature reduces the battery charges, much shorter range (reduce by 30% to 40%)
- battery is good for about ten years, it costs $12000/battery
