What drives London prices
London is a southwestern Ontario hub at the Highway 401 and Highway 402 junction, and its economy runs on manufacturing and insurance. The junction position makes London a natural pass-through point for freight moving in and out of the region. Manufacturing keeps trucks hauling goods on a steady basis, while insurance gives the city a second economic leg. That combination of corridor location and a broad industrial base is what shapes the local fuel market, tying it to the movement of goods across southwestern Ontario.
