The currency rate from Canada is better - about $2.20/£. The only other thing is bank charges. Some banks/cards will charge for the priviledge.

Nationwide credit and debit cards have no loading, charges or other hidden nastiness. You get the day's money market rate and that's it.

I think it is still the only major financial institute that does that.

Everywhere is cheaper than the UK for filling your car up

My friend in Canada was complaining how was nearly $1/l in Canada. That's about £0.40/l.

And fuel taxes in Canada are quite high too.

Maybe the solution is to lower taxes on petrol and diesel and actually start charging some on aviation fuel. ie: rebalance things. Your vacations may become more expensive..but your daily commute will become cheaper.
