    Problem is the convention center requires the tank to be no more than an 1/8th full. Since it's 185 miles one way from the border to the center, I'll have to fill up at some point in Canada, likely on my way back.

    So put enough in to get back to the US. Miles to travel ÷ mpg.

    185 miles ÷ 6mpg =30 gallons. Add an extra gallon or 5 for cushion.

    The ones I've bought in Alberta did. I don't know about Quebec. I would have thought it would be everywhere in Canada.

    4liters= roughly 1 gallon.

    Be in the middle lane going thru Montreal's tunnel.

    Don't get offended by French KFC and the Canadian flag atop the walmarts.

    Douche is a shower not an insult.

    Go during January so you cab experience the whipping flying snow walls. Very pretty even if you can't see the road but 3 feet in front of you.

    Going into Canada isn't the problem, it's coming back and having to deal with that hateful species known as the U.S. border patrol that will make you wish you never went in the first place.
