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.

Red Deer · Canadian side225.6¢/L
Rocky Mountain · the US district next door$6.422/gal

The American figure is the EIA weekly retail survey — published as $6.422/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.

Red Deer runs 38.7¢ below the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Red Deer prices

Red Deer sits at the midpoint of the Calgary-Edmonton run on Hwy 2 and works as an oil-patch service centre for central Alberta. Its diesel market runs on that position. Traffic moving between Calgary and Edmonton passes through the city, and the surrounding oil patch leans on Red Deer for service and supply. Pump prices in the city track the cost of fuel moving along the Hwy 2 corridor and the pace of oil-patch service work around central Alberta. Red Deer's pricing tracks the traffic and the oil-patch service work that pass through its midpoint.
