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.

Kentville · Canadian side269.7¢/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.

Kentville runs 5.4¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

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.
