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.

St. John's · Canadian side279.5¢/L
New England · the US district next door$6.470/gal

The American figure is the EIA weekly retail survey — published as $6.470/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 New England buys its fuel on the other side of a border.

St. John's runs 15.2¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

Citing this figure

How it is calculated

What drives St. John's prices

St. John's is the provincial capital and the easternmost market in Canada. No refinery sits on the island. All fuel arrives by sea, which keeps prices among the highest in Canada. For a carrier this is the end of the line, a market that runs on fuel shipped across open water with no domestic refining to soften the cost. The capital's size and its place at the far eastern edge do not change that arithmetic. Sea freight sets the price here.
