What drives Sudbury prices
Sudbury is a northern Ontario mining centre, with nickel and copper anchoring the local economy, and it sits at the Highway 17 and Highway 69 junction. The mining base keeps trucks hauling ore, equipment, and supplies in and out of the city on a steady basis, and the junction position ties Sudbury to the northern Ontario highway network. That combination of mining and a highway junction is what shapes the local fuel market, anchoring it to the resource economy of northern Ontario.
