What drives Peterborough prices
Peterborough sits on the Highway 115/7 corridor, and its economy runs on manufacturing and agriculture. The corridor position ties the city to the freight moving through the region. The manufacturing and agricultural base keeps trucks hauling in and out of the city on a steady basis, moving product and produce along the region's roads. That combination of corridor location and a manufacturing and agriculture base is what shapes the local fuel market, anchoring it to the movement of goods through the region.
