US figures are the EIA weekly retail diesel survey (ultra-low sulfur, on-highway), converted from USD per gallon at the Bank of Canada rate (1.4025). The North American index is the mean of the Canadian NMDI and the US national average — each country counts once. Methodology

Diesel moves once a week, when NRCan publishes a new retail survey. Between prints this figure holds steady. It is a retail survey average, not a rack price, and not what a fleet on a fuel card pays.
The 59.3¢/L gap between AB and QC is $297 on a 500-litre fill — fuel where it is cheap on your corridor. Work out a trip
