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.

Kingston · Canadian side256.4¢/L

Central Atlantic · the US district next door$6.508/gal

The American figure is the EIA weekly retail survey — published as $6.508/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 Central Atlantic buys its fuel on the other side of a border.

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

How it is calculated

What drives Kingston prices

Kingston sits on the Highway 401 and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence waterway, and its economy runs on institutions and logistics. The city is a freight midpoint along the 401 corridor, and its waterfront position ties it to the St. Lawrence system. Institutions and logistics both keep trucks moving in and out of the city on a steady schedule. That combination of corridor freight and waterway access is what shapes Kingston's market, anchoring it to the movement of goods through eastern Ontario.
