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.

Gatineau · Canadian side294.4¢/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.

Gatineau runs 30.1¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Gatineau prices

Gatineau sits across the river from Ottawa on Highway 5 and Highway 50. Government and tech anchor the local economy. The market's prices track Ontario's. Because the city sits right on the provincial line, Gatineau's fuel competes directly with what Ottawa charges on the other side of the river. Carriers crossing between Quebec and the capital see two markets separated by a bridge. That border competition keeps Gatineau's pricing tied to its neighbour more than to the rest of Quebec.
