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.

Quebec · Canadian side289.6¢/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.

Quebec runs 25.3¢ above the national index — a real difference on a 500-litre fill. Work out a trip

How it is calculated

What drives Quebec prices

Quebec City is the provincial capital and a St. Lawrence port. Refining sits across the river at Lévis. Highways 20 and 40 run the main corridors through the market. The port handles St. Lawrence freight, and the capital role keeps government traffic steady. Carriers passing between Montreal and points east route through this market. It is the anchor of eastern Quebec freight, tied to the river and to the road network that radiates outward from the capital. Heavy river and highway traffic both run through this city.
