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.

Toronto · Canadian side258.4¢/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.

Toronto runs 5.9¢ below the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Toronto prices

Toronto is Canada's largest city and freight market, and it sits on Highway 401, the busiest highway in North America, along with the 400 series network. The city has no refinery of its own, so diesel is trucked or piped in from Sarnia, Nanticoke, and Montreal. That supply arrangement keeps Toronto's diesel running above the refining centres. The 400 series network moves freight through the city and across the region, and the price at the pump carries the cost of bringing fuel in from elsewhere.
