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.

Victoria · Canadian side288.5¢/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.

Victoria runs 24.2¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Victoria prices

Victoria is an island market. Fuel is trucked or barged in from the mainland, which is why the city runs above Vancouver on price. Everything that reaches the island crosses water, and that crossing adds cost before a litre ever hits a pump. Carriers on the island pay for that supply chain every time they fill, whether the fuel arrives by truck or by barge. The island position, not the size of the market, is what keeps the price where it is.
