Not to mention you're probably racist for trying to leave the city.

That's US$4.39 for 3.79 litres, or US$1.16 for every litre.  Wow, that 
seems cheap to me these days.  Especially when I consider that the 
Canadian dollar is worth slightly more than the American dollar right now. 
(Locally, it's been hovering between CDN$1.38 and CDN$1.41 per litre.)

This is why I don't mind driving to the States to pick up my parcels.  I 
don't mind it one little bit.  (The fact that the border is only, like, 20 
minutes from the preschool my kids attend makes going to the States for 
parcels and cheap gas all the easier.)  And last time I checked (i.e. last 
Monday), I think gas was actually closer to US$4.19 per gallon there.

We still haven't topped CDN$1.50 per litre, though.  It got somewhere 
north of that in the summer of 2008, before the financial crisis drove the 
prices down again (sometimes to under a dollar per litre, sigh).
