One US gallon is 3.785411784 litres. Multiply the CAD/litre price by that amount for CAD/US gallon, then by 1.1193 ÷ 1.5665 for USD/US gallon, using the ECB’s USD and CAD rates per euro dated 2026-10-23. The pump-price observation remains September 2026; the newer exchange rate does not make it a current pump quote.
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.

Statistics Canada publishes monthly average retail prices (table 18-10-0001-01) after the month they describe — the figures here are for September 2026. These are not live station prices. FuelWide checks the source during its scheduled data refreshes.
How much does a 50-litre tank of gas cost in Canada?
C$92.15 at the national regular-gas average for September 2026. This is a FuelWide calculation: 50 litres multiplied by the published price per litre. City averages and individual pumps differ.
