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.

Chicoutimi · Canadian side283.7¢/L
New England · the US district next door$6.470/gal

The American figure is the EIA weekly retail survey — published as $6.470/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 New England buys its fuel on the other side of a border.

Chicoutimi runs 19.4¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip
