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.

Montreal · Canadian side292.2¢/L
New England · the US district next door$6.510/gal

The American figure is the EIA weekly retail survey — published as $6.510/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.

Montreal runs 31.3¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

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.
