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.

Prince George · Canadian side266.1¢/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.

Prince George runs 1.8¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Prince George prices

Prince George is a northern BC forestry and transport hub. Hwy 16 and Hwy 97 meet here, and the city carries the label gateway to the north. Timber and freight move through the city on their way to markets south and west. Carriers running the north use Prince George as the staging point where routes split toward the Peace country, the coast, or the south. Forestry work anchors the local economy and keeps the truck traffic steady through the city.
