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.

Oshawa · Canadian side257.5¢/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.

Oshawa runs 6.8¢ below the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Oshawa prices

Oshawa sits on the Highway 401 corridor and runs on auto assembly, with General Motors anchoring the city's industrial base. Auto assembly means a steady flow of trucks hauling parts in and finished vehicles out, which keeps the local freight network busy. That automotive base is what drives fuel demand here. Oshawa's spot on the 401 ties it into the main southern Ontario freight corridor, and the plant work keeps demand steady rather than seasonal. A city built around one big industry runs on that industry's rhythm.
