Why Gasoline Prices Vary Across Provinces

Pump prices in British Columbia consistently run higher than in Alberta — driven by provincial carbon levies, refinery access, and transportation markups. The national average recently stood at 130.40¢ (-13.4% year-over-year). The spread between the cheapest and most expensive provinces can exceed 30 cents per litre in any given month.

Statistics Canada tracks dozens of staple items monthly — from eggs and milk to ground beef and bread. A dozen eggs recently averaged $4.74 (-0.2% year-over-year). Remote Atlantic provinces regularly pay 15–25% more for identical products compared to Ontario, reflecting transportation logistics and thinner retail competition.
