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.

Fort St. John · Canadian side265.2¢/L
West Coast · the US district next door$7.394/gal

The American figure is the EIA weekly retail survey — published as $7.394/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 West Coast buys its fuel on the other side of a border.

Fort St. John runs 0.9¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Fort St. John prices

Fort St. John is a natural gas service hub on the Hwy 97 corridor, the route better known as the Alaska Highway. The city serves the Montney play, the natural gas formation that drives activity across the region. Truck traffic through the city runs on the work that gas exploration and production bring to the area. Carriers stage equipment and supplies here on the way north and back south along the corridor. The gas patch is what keeps freight moving through Fort St. John.
