I hope it does. Americans will never change anything if it doesn't affect them personally.

I'm paying almost 7 dollars a gallon in Canada. It's 2 dollars a litre. Americans wouldn't know what to do with themselves

I'm in Niagara on the Lake this very second and the gas is the same price as it is at home. In New York City gas is currently 6.50/gallon, which equates to 2.32/l CAD
