US gas is sold in dollars per US gallon. Canadian gas is sold in cents per
litre. There is a noticeable difference in the pump display and the street
ads not to notice. If he wasn't expecting to encounter litres he would have
noticed and been surprised.

I wonder what he must have been thinking when he had to fuel his car in
litres.
Probably nothing considering people *actually* fill their car up in
moneys-worth.
He was more than likely doing a quick conversion in his head between US
and Canadian dollars.
You see, in the real world people fill their cars up with petrol (gas)
rather than measures.
