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.

Kamloops · Canadian side270.9¢/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.

Kamloops runs 6.6¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Kamloops prices

Kamloops is an interior BC trucking junction. Hwy 1, Hwy 5 through the Coquihalla, and Hwy 16 all meet here. That makes the city a distribution and transshipment hub for the southern interior. Freight moving between the coast and the prairies funnels through Kamloops, and loads get sorted and handed off before heading north, south, or back toward Vancouver. The junction is the whole reason freight stops here, and it is what gives Kamloops its place in the BC freight network.
