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.

Sault Ste Marie · Canadian side265.1¢/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.

Sault Ste Marie runs 0.8¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Sault Ste Marie prices

Sault Ste. Marie sits on Highway 17, the Trans-Canada, and runs on steel, with Algoma anchoring the industrial base. The city also holds the International Bridge to Sault, Michigan, which carries freight across the border. Steel keeps trucks hauling raw material and finished product, and the Trans-Canada position ties the city to the movement of goods across the region. That combination of steel, a Trans-Canada corridor, and a border bridge is what shapes the local fuel market, anchoring it to both the steel trade and the freight crossing at the border.
