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.

Yarmouth · Canadian side272.2¢/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.

Yarmouth runs 7.9¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Yarmouth prices

Yarmouth sits in southwestern Nova Scotia. Fishing is the local business, and the ferry to Maine runs from here. That ferry gives the town a direct water link across to the United States. It is a fishing town and a ferry port, both, and those two things shape the local economy and the freight that moves through it. A carrier working the far southwest of the province runs toward Yarmouth, where the ferry terminal sits and the next stop across the water is Maine.
