Quick and simple tip:

As a rule of thumb, the gas price is always more expensive in Canada. You should keep that in mind when choosing where to fill up the fuel tank of your vehicle. Depending on the size of your car (and its fuel tank) you might as well save on your short cross-border shopping trip or have a free lunch!

Why is gas cheaper in the United States, compared to Canada?

On average, the nationwide Canadian gas price is higher than in the United States. Additionally, gas prices vary notably between provinces and states, and sometimes between adjacent cities (e.g., municipal fuel tax). The reason for this disparity is simple: taxes. Each province and state has jurisdiction to set its own tax on fuel, hence the different prices. Once this factor is removed, the prices seem to be very comparable between the United States and Canada.
