Metric was a great way for the oil companies to really bend us over at the pumps. Back when Canada was imperial measure (pre-1981), we had price fluctuations of a few cents a gallon from station to station.

Now, we have those same price fluctuations based per litre...and people don't really stop to think how radical the price differences are per gallon.
