US and CAN currency is at par...or the CAN is actually worth about 2 cents more. Most take it at Par.

Even though I drive it quite frequently, the last time I went across I stopped for gas at one of the large BP or ESSO stations on the 401. My credit card would not work and when I checked in with home, my wife told me that the CC company had called and stopped my card...thought it was a stolen card.

They had to reactivate it. Another time when I was driving a M100 across CAN I was doing like a constant 100....I stopped at two stations and at the second they stopped my card. I had to call them. The guy would not believe that I made it from point A to point B that fast....thought that was a fraud purchase as well.

I always use a CC when I can in Canada...that way you always get the best rates.
