* Price is based on average national Canadian prices for regular gasoline. Users of higher octane gasoline will pay 10 cents or more premium on prices quoted. Also, fuel prices are forecasted to go up over the course of 2006. Both of these factors could add substantially to your estimated savings.

Tips for Calculating Weekly Average Fuel Purchase:
- When estimating weekly fuel purchases also allow for those longer trips (vacations, Thanksgiving to family gatherings, etc.) and extra fill-ups for non-regular driving needs (e.g., out-of-town excursions, weekends to the cottage). This can add 10% to 20% to many households driving and fuel costs.
- If you often fill up more frequently than once a week, be sure to add to your average fill-up amount. (e.g., If you fill up on average every five days, take your average fill-up and multiply by 1.40 for an average weekly fill-up). Here is an example: If you normally fill every five days and normally put in 40 litres / 10 gallons, then your weekly average fuel purchase is 56 litres (40litres/ 5days X 7 days) or 14 gallons (10 gallons/ 5 days X 7 days).
