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.

Peterborough · 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.

Peterborough 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 Peterborough prices

Peterborough sits on the Highway 115/7 corridor, and its economy runs on manufacturing and agriculture. The corridor position ties the city to the freight moving through the region. The manufacturing and agricultural base keeps trucks hauling in and out of the city on a steady basis, moving product and produce along the region's roads. That combination of corridor location and a manufacturing and agriculture base is what shapes the local fuel market, anchoring it to the movement of goods through the region.
