Only $1??? And isn't canadian money worth less than american money??? You guys get gas freaking DIRT cheap compared to here. Right now gas prices stay over $2 here... we feel like it's getting REAL cheap again when it drops to somthing like $1.60.

But I think California is also the worst in the Unites states, so eh, maybe it's just us.

That is per litre. Litres are small. I can drink a 1L bottle of pepsi in a matter of minutes. If I remember correctly, it's almost 3L to make up one gallon (or 2.5, something like that). So... 91 x 3 would be $1.83 per gallon, in CDN, so like uh... $1.50 US or something per gallon here. It's still cheap (compared to almost 2), yes, but I think it may be due to the fact that we have more natural resources than the US, so we get it cheaper.

Or maybe just because Canada is better than the US.

Also we haven't reached the peak price yet, like I said, the gas over the summer here will be 1.03 average, with peaks being 1.10.

Good enough excuse for me.

Do you know what a Liter is? The Metric System?

Ahh, americans....

A liter equals 0.26 US gallons. So 99.9c/liter = 3.84$CAN/US gallon. So it's pretty expensive.

Want me to convert the currency too?

What happens to someone that is exposed to these biological chemicals?

Sarin

Sarin inhibits the function of an enzyme (cholinesterase) that is necessary for the proper function of a neurotransmitter (acetylcholine). Neurotransmitters act to relay important messages (nervous impulses) in the nervous system and control the glands and muscles of the body. Cholinesterase in effect "turns off" acetylcholine. When a person is exposed to sarin, cholinesterase is no longer able to turn off acetylcholine, the effect of which is that nervous impulses keep being transmitted. When this happens, the glands and muscles of the body are constantly being stimulated. The victim of sarin will lose control over his bodily functions. Ultimately, the victim will fall into a coma and suffocate.

Mustard Gas

Long-term effects include laryngeal, pharyngeal and lung cancers, corneal burns causing blindness, severe skin burns predisposing to skin cancer, neurological and psychiatric disorders, infertility and birth defects.

Why they must be found before they fall into the hands of terrorists.
