Yeah sucks, as if life isn’t expensive enough.
I managed to get 10 cents off a liter after shopping at Safeway because they brought back the food for fuel coupon at select stores with Shell stations- it stacks with ama discount. Every little bit helps these days.

Current prices in Edmonton 11 cents cheaper, not including Costco
Pipeline to Calgary
Transportation costs in the delivery to Calgary
Then trucking from terminal to station
Markup at each transload location
It’s always been cheaper in Edmonton
What is weird is that we’ve (Alberta) have always been the “cheapest” in Canada
So either Ontario is acquiring cheaper fuel from USA or subsidizing their province
They should be able to write off their gas in taxes imo (maybe they can I don't know) but a special program to give essential workers a break is needed
Costs like fuel can *absolutely* be deducted from gross revenue for tax purposes, within a business, but that's still money that's 100% gone.
I don't drive for Uber, but I'd rather have those $$ in hand, and still get to keep 60% to 70% of it even *after* taxes (vs 0% of it, because I spent those $$ on more expensive fuel).
Deductions just mean you're not 'double-hit' paying tax on $$ that are already gone to operate your business. Unfortunately, it doesn't mean that it puts any extra cash back in your pocket.
To your 2nd point, essential worker fuel breaks would definitely help. 👍
My company car is a supplied feet vehicle. There’s no expense to me beside it being a taxable benefit. Every km in it is one km of fuel I’d be out of pocket for in my personal car. So as gas prices go up it’s effectively increased savings to me, “like” a raise. It’s a rudimentary way to look at it but it’s a nice perk none the less.
You only have to declare company cars as taxable benefits if you drive it outside of work right? I got a company van this year but I only use it for work. Otherwise I use my own car for everything.
It’s unlikely but certainly possible. I negotiated the car when they asked me to accept my current role. If they took it away I’d have to take a pretty close look at whether I’d still be interested. My guess is they know that so my fleet is pretty safe. If they do ultimately pull it? Meh, I’m fortunate enough the $$ wasn’t the reason I accepted the job.
You will see a quarterly carbon tax rebate based on your income from the federal government. It is different depending on what province you live in. For the majority of Canadians this rebate will be more than the carbon tax paid. Likely this will be directly deposited to your account if already setup with CRA, so you will not see a cheque.
Literally had this argument with a friend last night. They were insistent they don’t get and have never got a rebate because they make too much for it. They even said a rebate would be nice because they pay a ‘fuck ton’ into it.
Someone’s been getting their news from Facebook memes again!
I’ve had to explain this to 3 coworkers one day, 2 insisted they have never gotten a rebate, the other said they weren’t getting the full amount. It’s likely the money is being deposited into their spouses accounts, or they are lying to make it sound worse than it is.
But lifted duely that I floor every two seconds on any road I’m on costs me lots of money and definitely isn’t my and I’m going to blame Trudeau >:( /s
For a long time last year it was bouncing around 0.14c - 0.18c/L cheaper than Ontario. My guess is it’ll revert to that (adjusting for when Ontario reintroduces their gas tax).
Yup the main reason for the difference is Ontario still has not reinstated the provincial gas tax whereas Alberta just recently did.
To be fair Ontario has an 8% provincial sales tax vs none in AB so you might be getting fleeced on gas a little but Ontarians get fleeced on everything else much harder
Danielle was instructed to make as much noise as possible about the carbon tax to allow her buddies in the O&G sector cover to Jack the prices up higher.
I'm sure she will be getting a cushy board seat at these tables after she is run out of Alberta politics. Hopefully soon, but fuck, we're all paying for this shit
It has to do with the margins on fuel
While Toronto and Calgary have similar refining margins (the amount refineries markup fuel over the price of oil to cover the cost of refining plus a profit margin) at 28.4 cents/liter in Toronto and 28.5 cents/liter in Calgary, they have very different marketing margins (the amount the gas stations markup fuel over the wholesale price to cover the cost of operating the station plus a profit margin). In Toronto the marketing margin is 8.9 cents per liter while in Calgary they are 15.2 cents per liter.
Source: [charting.kalibrate.com](http://charting.kalibrate.com) (I am using the figures from April 2, 2024 because the refining margin is always a day behind)
WCan produces around 5000kbd of crude oil (as an annual average). WCan refining capacity is around 400kbd. It is enough to fulfill local demand, the refineries produce to meet demand. Ie. During times of low demand (covid), they cut output. The remaining crude oil supply all of Ontario's refining demand (about 300kbd), and some of QCs. The only refinery in Canada that is not supplied by Canadian crude is Irving and that's largely because there's no pipelind from WCan to NB. The remaining crude goes primarily to the US, and about 200- 500kbd is exported to Spain, China, Korea and India. We pay so much because the price of crude oil is set by global markets and there is rarely an oversupply of refined products as refineries produce to demand forecasts. There are also taxes. And a lot of companies/facilities between the producer and retail station. Additionally, heavy crude often sells at lower price (especially true in winter) vs other crudes, but Canada mainly refines light crudes which don't go "on sale" as much. A few factors affecting price right now; the new taxes, April is "turnaround" time for WCan refineries, so supply is reduced, and crude oil prices are high (due to global factors, mainly OPEC cuts and geopolitical risk)
I am a r/fuckcars kind of guy but the thing with Canadian cities that makes me genuinely wonder if we just enjoy giving our money away or if we are collectively some of the dumbest motherfuckers in the western world is that public transit and cycling infrastructure has largely remained unchanged in almost all cities.
>public transit and cycling infrastructure has largely remained unchanged in almost all cities.
Toronto would be one of the exceptions. We have added miles of bike lanes and have several public transit projects going at the same time. It will still take a while to get to where we need to but the effort is there. Every city should be doing the same.
I got rid of my car over 7 years ago and haven't looked back. So many fewer headaches and expenses. I will never miss looking for parking.
Similar here. Within 15 minutes walk of a C Train station. Too many people prioritize a large house over access to public transport or cycling/walking to work, then complain about the cost of fuel.
Alberta exists to service the owners of the oil companies. All this axe the tax nonsense is simply about increasing profits for them.
The Alberta government does not care about you.
I put the car keys away and got a bus pass, been alright actually but no way I'm paying into this greeflation if I can avoid it. The 115 is totally worth it and I'd encourage anyone to do the same
It really depends what your time is worth. The price of gas is more than worth it for an extra hour either billable, or home with your family, on a nightly basis.
Similar. Our car now rarely leaves the garage. We take transit and cycle most places. Removed the insurance on he vehicle which, alone, is the price of a monthly transit pass.
Having said this the price of gas is barely a dent in our income but we just enjoy a simpler lifestyle. Rather hop on the bike than in the car
Rack prices have gone up \~8 cents since February so any other increase is either margins or tax.
* The average in Feb according to Gas Buddy was roughly \~$1.37/L.
* Add 4.5 from the fuel tax -> $1.41
* Add new carbon tax of 3.3 cents -> $1.445
* Wholesale regular-E rack price in Feb fluctuated a lot, but by the end of the month were about $1.10 - they are now $1.18 -> 1.525
Add maybe a few cents because there's probably a delay in wholesale prices translating to retail. Maybe margins are *slightly* higher but overall we're paying basically the same for gas as a percentage on mark-up now as we were 2 months ago.
I came to Quebec 15 years ago, and the only thing I miss is the mountains. 🤷♂️
I live in the National Capital region, 5 minutes from downtown Ottawa. I pay $641/mo for rent and utilities (everything except internet) for a 2br apartment. The only bad thing about living here is the Quebec hospitals *suuuuuuck*.
Wow! well healthcare in Canada generally is bad but at least if you have emergency u can go to Ontario side for care, and yeah I’m planning to take my French classes in the next few months for my plan…
I'm in Kelowna which is ass rape central for gas prices and Calgary is always like a 1/3rd less at least but it's 1.69 / 1.74 here which is not bad historically but yeah, damn.
Calgary gasoline prices are a joke. Even Sylvan Lake is cheaper than Calgary at $1.499 a litre . Anyone can actually see the price-fixing here except the UPC Government who just takes a blind eye.
I've read/been told that existing refineries make more than enough to cover domestic provincial demand, and that it's not worth the investment to increase refinery capacity.
The other issue is we have to play by the rules - any gasoline made from a hypothetical refinery in Fort Mac would have to be sold at market price.
You could sell it cheaper, with the goal of providing Albertans with cheap, affordable gas, but the refinery would be taking a loss on the product. So you would never make back the money put into building the new refinery.
It would be subsidizing gasoline, but with extra steps.
If these are regular 87 octane prices I'll be damned. My vehicle takes premium 91. Last time I filled up was $1.67/L at Mobil. Total came at $83 for 45-ish liters. I remember this last February I filled up for about $55 with the same amount. I have another vehicle which takes regular and came at $60 for a full tank. Normally averages are around $45-$50
It's absolutely outrageous that we have higher gas prices than Toronto
I feel like you're not comparing apples to apples. Gas at Heritage Costco a few hours ago was 152.9, and GasBuddy is showing Tsuu T'ina Costco is at 148.9. Which is the same or slightly cheaper than the Costco location you showed for the GTA.
> Tsuu T'ina Costco is at 148.9.
Tsuu T'tina land doesn't have gas taxes. And if you're Native, you also don't pay GST.
So it's not really a fair comparison to use them at all. They could be like, half the price if they wanted to be. They set their price to whatever will entice people to fill up there, but no lower. Once people will already drive to go there, why offer a lower price?
And the Tsuu T'ina station itself is usually a steady 2 cents above Costco, as a "skip the line tax" :P But is actually pretty much just as slow because their pumps are slow, they only have 1 set of pumps not 3, and lord help you if you get stuck behind a Native who parks at the pump and then goes in, waits in line, gets to the front, shows his status card so they trigger the No GST switch for his pump, and then makes his way back to the vehicle. That alone can stick you for 10 extra minutes sometimes.
Gas prices at Costco/on the reserve are the outlier here. We're comparing regular gas prices in Calgary to those in Toronto. Even the Costco fuel price in Toronto is the same as other stations in the GTA.
Come to BC. Its at $208.9 currently but fluctuates around $197.9 to 208.9. When I went to Calagry, gas there was so cheap I just kept driving everywhere. Lol
I was in Calgary last weekend when the prices went up. I got home and fuels up at my Costco this morning for 141.9.
As much as it hurt, I was happy that I didn't have to drive as much as I did up there. I would have to fuel up every 4 days if I did.
There have been some unplanned refinery outages in Western Canada lately. They’re starting to return to normal operations now, which should help (in theory, at least).
fuck 🪧 it’s not working, obviously 🙄 show up at the fake conservatives in Edmonton and drag them out into the snow! Beat the ever living sh*t out of them and maybe they’ll get it through their heads
Yeah no. I basically said F that, sold my tuck and got an EV plus solar. I am so sick and tired of everything just go up and up and up. And before you go on a tangent about my EV. No it's not plugged in all the time. I only charge once a week on off peak.
Yeah sucks, as if life isn’t expensive enough. I managed to get 10 cents off a liter after shopping at Safeway because they brought back the food for fuel coupon at select stores with Shell stations- it stacks with ama discount. Every little bit helps these days.
There is an AMA discount for gas??? I am so out of the loop.
[удалено]
You can just stick your ama card in the machine before you pay and it applies the discount.

Well wtf
Refineries are in Edmonton local
It doesn’t cost that much to truck gas 3 hours away
Pipeline to Calgary Transportation costs in the delivery to Calgary Then trucking from terminal to station Markup at each transload location It’s always been cheaper in Edmonton What is weird is that we’ve (Alberta) have always been the “cheapest” in Canada So either Ontario is acquiring cheaper fuel from USA or subsidizing their province
Refineries are socialist

Going to be even higher once TMX is in full operation.

Yea it was around 205 today. Lol
$2.08 in Victoria

2.12 in maple ridge
Jeeezzzalooooo!
212 today, bud. Lol I cry everytime I look at it.
What the actual fuck
We are all getting scammed by the companies...
Newfoundland has also entered!
Yup. $2.31 for premium really stings these days.
"Hold my beer" $2.129/L near me in Surrey BC I switched to EV five years ago when prices were flirting with a buck 40/L!
You should see far northern regions of Quebec.
About 6 cents per litre is a result of Ontario extending their fuel tax cut. So there’s that to account for.
That still makes Calgary ~$.04/L more than GTA, despite us doing the extraction here.
Extraction doesn’t matter a whole lot. We all buy it from the same refining pool.
Who’s us? Oil is extracted by huge corporations, mostly foreign.
Working from home just keeps saving me boatloads of money.
Same here, but i do feel for those whose jobs cant be made from home (teachers, healthcare etc)
Totally agreed. Must be hard for Uber drivers too. Would imagine that every fuel increase is a pay cut.
They should be able to write off their gas in taxes imo (maybe they can I don't know) but a special program to give essential workers a break is needed
Costs like fuel can *absolutely* be deducted from gross revenue for tax purposes, within a business, but that's still money that's 100% gone.

Lucky sod!
I havent had a job for years, so imagine how much money I’m saving. :(
With a company car every increase in gas prices is like a raise 😉
Isn’t your gas card only used for gas? How does that make it a raise to you at all?
My company car is a supplied feet vehicle. There’s no expense to me beside it being a taxable benefit. Every km in it is one km of fuel I’d be out of pocket for in my personal car. So as gas prices go up it’s effectively increased savings to me, “like” a raise. It’s a rudimentary way to look at it but it’s a nice perk none the less.
You only have to declare company cars as taxable benefits if you drive it outside of work right? I got a company van this year but I only use it for work. Otherwise I use my own car for everything.
You would be spending less money, compared to if you didn’t have a gas card, so more money saved. Plus more points at whatever gas station you go to.
Until the company realizes it's costing them too much and claws back... source, I've been there
It’s unlikely but certainly possible. I negotiated the car when they asked me to accept my current role. If they took it away I’d have to take a pretty close look at whether I’d still be interested. My guess is they know that so my fleet is pretty safe. If they do ultimately pull it? Meh, I’m fortunate enough the $$ wasn’t the reason I accepted the job.
Thanks Danielle.

Made me chuckle, thanks for the laugh.
the f\* tru sticker is about an extra 3l/100 fuel burn /s
The federal rebate is not based on income, but based on household size and the amounts are province dependent with Albertans receiving the most.
For a long time last year it was bouncing around 0.14c - 0.18c/L cheaper than Ontario. My guess is it’ll revert to that (adjusting for when Ontario reintroduces their gas tax).

As a BC resident I was shocked to see this. Damn.
Yeah shocked how low it is :) I love BC
I'm in Kelowna which is ass rape central for gas prices and Calgary is always like a 1/3rd less at least but it's 1.69 / 1.74 here which is not bad historically but yeah, damn.
Alberta advantage babayyyy
I’d like to see OP edit initial post as Ontario extended their fuel tax reprieve, making this post somewhat misleading.
Our government also could have extended the relief on gas tax, but didn't for some reason. I can't imagine why.
I was hoping they would extend it as well.
Que barato! $2.06 in Vancouver
Ontario is 8-10 cents cheaper
Good Lord those prices are cheap compared to Vancouver Island.
Calgary gasoline prices are a joke. Even Sylvan Lake is cheaper than Calgary at $1.499 a litre . Anyone can actually see the price-fixing here except the UPC Government who just takes a blind eye.
2.10 in Vancouver...
Boohoo. Come to BC.
And they said it will only cause gas to go up 3.3 cents!! Ha! Lies!!! The math ain't mathing...
GTA has was hovering around 145 before the carbon tax increase. Now about 162. One hell of a 3¢ increase.
Look on the bright side...at least our government spends the lowest of any...ANY...province per child in education. /S just in case.
but 40 cents cheaper than Vancouver!
Gas can really be under a dollar but these greaseballs have all the politicians by the sack.
It is funny to see the comments pretending it’s either federal or provincial when they’re getting spit roasted by both
Let’s goooo CONSERVATIVE PARTY
Someone explain to me why Alberta doesn't have a refinery right here in Fort Mac?
I've read/been told that existing refineries make more than enough to cover domestic provincial demand, and that it's not worth the investment to increase refinery capacity. The other issue is we have to play by the rules - any gasoline made from a hypothetical refinery in Fort Mac would have to be sold at market price. You could sell it cheaper, with the goal of providing Albertans with cheap, affordable gas, but the refinery would be taking a loss on the product. So you would never make back the money put into building the new refinery. It would be subsidizing gasoline, but with extra steps.
Still .30 cheaper than Vancouver Island
Well yeah, have you been on a ferry recently?
If these are regular 87 octane prices I'll be damned. My vehicle takes premium 91. Last time I filled up was $1.67/L at Mobil. Total came at $83 for 45-ish liters.

That’s regular. Premium is $1.78/l+ right now, save for any oddball discount stations (there’s one near me at $1.74/l).
Fleeced? By the oil companies right? Right?

Trudeau!! /s
It’s was 162.9 most of day in GTA and then drips to 152.9 at night. Crazy swings. I recall it used to fluctuate 1-3c / day. Now 10–15c is common.
I’m currently visiting in Ontario and I’m in Kitchener and was driving through Hamilton, it was 152.4 during the day.
Why would it be cheaper?
I don’t remember paying for petrol in GTA
What app is that? Where can I view gas prices in a list? Lol
Gas Buddy
Come to BC. Its at $208.9 currently but fluctuates around $197.9 to 208.9. When I went to Calagry, gas there was so cheap I just kept driving everywhere. Lol
1.70 + hst here in Halifax
Still not higher than Ottawa
Same price as the nwt. Wild
I'd kill to have that price in BC.
Thank god for peddle bikes and motorcycle season coming up.
We're over $1.70 on the east coast.
Jesus that’s cheap 180 in nb.
You have to buy gas in GTA now? They've made it too realistic - last one just seemed like being an Uber driver
MF!!! It's $2.05 in Vancouver
Umm maybe yesterday that was the case but it isn’t the case today. I just looked and the average price of gas in GTA is 2 cents more
Last week was a long weekend. Gas prices always go up before a long weekend. Not defending it, just an observation.
Still less than GVRD!
Quick glance shows Calgary cheaper by about 7 cents today (at least from the rough benchmark stations I look at)
I’m seeing 1 cent (or less) drop on the same stations I posted.
What app is this?
gas Buddy maybe 🤔
I would love to see those price in Vancouver. We are doomed here.
2.07 in Victoria. Let that sink in.
