Kentville diesel: 240.7¢/L, NRCan weekly survey print Tue, 25 Aug 2026. Northern Mile Media, dashboard.northernmilemedia.com/diesel-prices/nova-scotia/kentville/
What drives Kentville prices
Kentville sits in the Annapolis Valley, and the Valley is agriculture country. The town sits on the Highway 101 corridor, which runs the length of the region and ties the Valley towns together. Farming is the business here. The trucks that work this area haul farm freight, moving the Valley's produce and supplies along that corridor. Kentville is a Valley town first, and the agriculture that surrounds it is what drives the local freight market and the diesel that gets burned moving it.
