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.

Lethbridge · Canadian side236.9¢/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.

Lethbridge runs 27.4¢ below the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

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.
