Lets see now, maybe this will help you "get it".

While tracking prices on my Excel spreadsheet during a one-year period, I spent about US$5500 where those same items would have run me just short of $9000 up here. I know my gas didn't cost over three grand.


I need a power steering rack for my 1999 Honda CR-V. Prices are for the same rack from same major rebuilder.

Rock Auto: US$168
Benson Auto Parts (Ontario): CA$400

Hey, thats close enough, isn't it. Only 2.38 times as much. Well OK, so I have to add US$13 shipping.

Guess where I am buying?
