One Canadian dollar is 77.2 cents US, so that $28.88 works out to $22.29 USD. So it's definitely not as good of a deal buying Supertech oil up here as it is in the US.
Hmm that sucks. Maybe just smuggle some In if your close to the border lol

I am only an hour away from the border and I actually do cross over about once every 4 weeks, so I have been buying a lot of my oil and oil filters there for the past few years.

But doesn't the exchange rate make it a wash?

Even with the exchange rate, oil has still been cheaper for me in the US for the most part, unless there is a really good sale here at Canadian Tire or Walmart. The sales tax rate is lower in NY state too (it's around 6% I think, where here it's a whopping 13%) Plus when I make those trips I also fill up the car with gas (often saving $20 to $30 right there alone) and grab a few jugs of milk at $1.77 per gallon (here it's over $5)
