What drives Lethbridge prices
Lethbridge is a southern Alberta agriculture and food-processing centre on the Hwy 3/4 corridor, and it is the closest major market to the Coutts–Sweetgrass border crossing. Its diesel market runs on that position. Agricultural hauls, food-processing runs, and cross-border traffic move through the Hwy 3/4 corridor, and Lethbridge sits where that traffic passes. Pump prices in the city track the freight and fuel that flow toward the border crossing and back. Lethbridge's pricing sits where the ag and food-processing traffic and the border crossing meet.
