Keep the change.

I've been noticing lately that Canadian money is worth more than US currency. Who would have ever thought this would ever been possible. I'm keeping any Canadian coins I get in my change!

It was that way in the early '60s also. And probably off and on before that. For more information and to spend the rest of the day on this:

Good site. Wish it would calculate for more than a 500 day spread.
I remember only a few years ago $1.00 USD would get you $1.50 CAD. Vacationing in Canada was great then.

I don't remember exactl how much fuel cost when the exchange rate was at 1 to 1.5. It didn't seem like it was that big a difference after I got my credit card bills. It's great to use credit cards because they made the currency exchange for you without any fees.
