Thanks for replies, folks. So an airliner leaving Canada out of most places would be paying approx.

$1.20 US/USG = $1.50 Cdn/USG = 38c/Litre (cheapest) to about twice that amount.

That's about half what we pay for diesel for our cars !

That might also explain why most airline mechanics seem to drive Diesel Golf/rabbit cars !! (all that unuseable "sumped " fuel shouldn't go to waste. "just recycling, officer !"

It also looks like the FBO's take the price and double it for light jets/turbo's.
Would that be about right?

Cheers, Rosbif.
