I fuelled in Westview:
$1.25/litre pump price
4% fuel tax, so $1.30
in US Gal x 3.78, $4.19
in $US, ÷1.33, $3.69
the rest will be your bank card charges for converting from $US to $C. Some are 3%, most set a fixed rate at a premium.

When I shop in the US, the reverse applies, so I have $US bank card and have some $US in the bank account from which I pay that card. Buying $ of the other currency when exchange rates are good will help a lot.
