What drives Montreal prices
Montreal is Canada's second-largest market and a major St. Lawrence port. A refining cluster in Montreal East keeps prices among the cheapest in Canada. Highways 20, 40, 15, and 13 form the network that moves freight through the city. The port and the refineries make Montreal a supply anchor for eastern Canada. Fuel refined here does not travel far to reach the local market, and that short supply chain holds prices down. It is among the cheapest fills in the country.
