Across the line

Diesel crosses the border, but the number does not. The Canadian side is published per litre and the American side per gallon.

Edmonton · Canadian side231.2¢/L
Rocky Mountain · the US district next door$6.521/gal

The American figure is the EIA weekly retail survey — published as $6.521/gal this week — shown the way an American carrier reads it, with the Canadian-dollar equivalent beside it once the page loads. A gallon is not a litre, so these two lines measure the same fuel in different units and the cents will never match. What does compare is the market: a load crossing into Rocky Mountain buys its fuel on the other side of a border.

Edmonton runs 33.1¢ below the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Edmonton prices

Edmonton is Alberta's refining hub, home to the Strathcona County refineries that supply the province. It sits at the northern end of Highway 2 and works as the gateway to the northern oil sands. As the provincial capital and a northern logistics anchor, Edmonton keeps a steady stream of trucks moving north and south. A city that refines its own fuel prices close to the source, so Edmonton runs on the cheaper side of the province. That makes it a dependable fill for any carrier heading up toward the oil sands or back down to Calgary.
