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.

North Bay · Canadian side257.9¢/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.

North Bay runs 6.4¢ below the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives North Bay prices

North Bay is the gateway to northern Ontario and sits at the Highway 11 and Highway 17 junction. Its economy runs on mining and forestry services. The junction position makes North Bay a supply point for the resource industries spread across the north, and trucks move equipment and supplies through the city on their way to mining and forestry operations. The two highways split the north from here, keeping the city tied to both corridors. That gateway role is what shapes the local fuel market, anchoring it to the resource economy of northern Ontario.
