Gas prices by province
Statistics Canada surveys cities rather than provinces. Where it covers two or more cities in a province, we show them together with their mean; where it covers one, the city page is the province page.

Which Canadian city has the cheapest gas?
Edmonton had the cheapest regular gas at C$1.63/L in July 2026, while Vancouver was the most expensive at C$2.01/L among the 18 surveyed cities.
Is gas cheaper in Canada or the United States?
The United States, substantially — mainly because GST or HST is charged on top of Canadian federal and provincial fuel taxes, so sales tax applies to the taxed price. Our Canada vs USA comparison converts both to the same currency and unit and works through each border crossing.
How often is this data updated?
Statistics Canada publishes monthly average retail prices (table 18-10-0001-01), roughly three weeks after the month they describe — the figures here are for July 2026. These are not live station prices. FuelWide refreshes as soon as a new month is released.
