The average retail price for regular, unleaded gasoline at self-service stations in Canada was ***** Canadian cents per liter in September 2025. This was a decrease compared to the previous month. Canada's gasoline prices are generally higher than those in the United States but lower than in many European countries. Why do gasoline prices fluctuate? Crude oil prices, along with changing levels of consumer demand, are the two main factors that directly affect retail prices of motor fuels. Prices can witness a rapid increase or decrease depending on impacts on crude oil supplies, refinery operations, or pipeline deliveries. Even if crude prices remain steady, seasonal changes in demand can still affect retail prices. As a large oil producer, Canada's motor fuel prices are closely linked to its benchmark Western Canadian Select crude oil price. Gasoline refining capacities As of January 2024, the global gasoline refining capacity amounted to *** million barrels per day. The United States and Canada were the region with the largest gasoline refining capacity at *** million barrels per day. Much of this refining capacity is located in the United States, specifically.

The global fuel energy price index stood at 157.89 index points in September 2025, up from 100 in the base year 2016. Figures decreased that month due to a fall in natural gas prices. The fuel energy index includes prices for crude oil, natural gas, coal, and propane. Supply constraints across multiple commodities The global natural gas price index surged nearly 11-fold, and the global coal price index rose almost seven-fold from summer 2020 to summer 2022. This notable escalation was largely attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, exerting increased pressure on the global supply chain. Tariffs bring economic uncertainty With the global economy having adjusted to the effects of the Russia-Ukraine war, new uncertainty has emerged due to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. If these tariffs are fully implemented, global trade could be significantly disrupted, mainly the bilateral trade between the world’s two largest economies. In 2025, import tariffs between China and the United States exceeded 130 percent on both sides, while their tariffs on imports from the rest of the world were around 10 percent. U.S. tariffs on Chinese imported goods reached a high of 134.7 percent in April of that year, while China imposed a 147.6 percent tariff on U.S. goods. Early estimates indicate that the impact of Trump’s proposed tariffs on the U.S. economy could amount to 0.4 percent of GDP, mainly driven by the reduced trade with Mexico, Canada and China.

The average monthly price for natural gas in the United States amounted to *** nominal U.S. dollars per million British thermal units (Btu) in October 2025. By contrast, natural gas prices in Europe were about three times higher than those in the U.S. Prices in Europe tend to be notably higher than those in the U.S. as the latter benefits from being a major hydrocarbon producer. Europe's import reliance European prices for natural gas rose most notable throughout the second half of 2021 and much of 2022, peaking at over ** U.S. dollars per million Btu in August 2022. The sharp rise was due to supply chain issues and economic strain following the COVID-19 pandemic, which was further exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. As a result of the war, many countries began looking for alternative sources, and Russian pipeline gas imports to the European Union declined as a result. Meanwhile, LNG was a great beneficiary, with LNG demand in Europe rising by more than ** percent between 2021 and 2024. How domestic natural gas production shapes prices As intimated, the United States’ position among the leaders of worldwide natural gas production is one of the main reasons for why prices for this commodity are so low across the country. In 2024, the U.S. produced more than ************ cubic meters of natural gas, which allays domestic demand and allows for far lower purchasing prices.

In June 2020, the gasoline price per liter in the United States stood at 0.55 U.S. dollars, the cheapest among the selected eight countries. However, this is a considerable price change compared to June 2019, when figures were 23.4 percent higher. Italy recorded the highest fuel price of all countries listed here, at 1.56 U.S. dollars per liter. The prices concern unleaded premium (95 RON) for France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom and regular unleaded for Canada, Japan, and the United States (AKI 87). Liquid fuels demand decline following coronavirusFinal gasoline prices result from crude oil charges, processing and distribution costs, and taxes and underly supply and demand. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has reduced the demand for fuel and in turn impacted petroleum prices worldwide. The U.S. liquid fuels demand in the road sector is expected to have decreased to 8.7 million barrels per day in the second quarter of 2020. As a result, U.S. monthly crude oil production dropped across all regions between March and August 2020. Diesel prices worldwideItaly also has the greatest tag on diesel prices among the above listed countries. As of that same month, the price for automotive diesel stood at 1.43 U.S. dollars per liter in the Southern European country. Diesel prices tend to be lower than gasoline prices, with the United Kingdom and the U.S. proving to be the exception.

Canada's oil and gas field service operators have experienced volatile market conditions throughout 2025. World commodity prices performed well throughout the reporting period. However, the period did start slowly in 2020 amid the pandemic as oil and gas prices started very low. As economic conditions improved from the pandemic's peak, the need for oil and gas returned to pre-pandemic levels and even reached new highs. As a result, revenue has been increasing at a CAGR of 9.8% over the past five years, reaching an estimated $ 49.5 billion in 2025. This includes a 3.6% dip in 2025 alone, when profit is set to reach 11.4%. The dip in 2025 can be mainly attributed to the uncertain geopolitical tensions from the energy tariffs imposed by the US, causing oil prices to drop drastically. While energy trade between the US and Canada hasn't been impacted, the impact on global prices has bled into Canadian prices. The swelling popularity of highly efficient enhanced oil recovery techniques has created a mixed impact for oil and gas field service providers. While these advanced methods generate higher-margin service opportunities, their increased efficiency means that fewer rigs and, thus, fewer field services are needed overall. After an initial surge in demand as extraction companies implemented new technologies, the ongoing need for field services has gradually pushed down. Revenue is set to push up at a CAGR of 0.9% over the next five years, reaching an estimated $51.7 billion in 2030. With the world oil and gas prices forecast to drop, this will likely adversely impact oil and gas field service companies with shrinking demand. Even so, Canadian oil prices are still set remain steady since they won't be as impacted by tariffs as the rest of the global economy. Nonetheless, there is a lack of sufficient pipeline infrastructure to bring commodities to markets. If this infrastructure can be expanded, it will likely benefit commodity prices and industry revenue.

Natural gas distributors in Canada, including gas distribution utilities, gas marketers and brokers, have faltered because of the highly volatile world and domestic natural gas prices. Revenue has fluctuated in line with changes in natural gas prices, although the rates paid for natural gas by downstream consumers haven't been as volatile. Prices began to drop amid the US shale gas boom and continued as the pandemic severely reduced the need for gas across commercial and industrial markets. Even so, prices rebounded after the pandemic, allowing distributors to salvage some revenue slightly. Nonetheless, as supply chain issues diminished, natural gas prices fell in 2023 and 2024, leading revenue to follow. Overall, revenue has climbed at a CAGR of 2.3% through 2025, reaching $17.1 billion, including a 6.3% uptick in 2025 alone. Profit has remained elevated as purchase costs dropped alongside lower prices. The need for natural gas has been pushed down late in the period as regulations and wild swings in price have influenced residential customers to switch gas stoves for electric ones and reduce natural gas usage. Some municipalities, including Laval, Quebec and Montreal, have banned the installation of new natural gas appliances. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions has been a big priority for governments in recent years, and similar bans will likely come into effect in other locations. Nonetheless, prices have remained elevated since the start of the period, keeping revenue afloat. Natural gas distributors are still investing in modern and up-to-date infrastructure to meet strict regulatory requirements. Despite continued investment in infrastructure, natural gas prices are set to dip drastically throughout the outlook period, leading to revenue drops. The continued popularity of renewable energy will pose a threat as consumers and businesses switch. Nonetheless, distributors are finding ways to incorporate renewable natural gas into their distribution to prevent major disruptions. Technology and infrastructure upgrades will also help bolster efficiency moving forward. Overall, revenue is set to push down at a CAGR of 2.6%, reaching $15.0 billion in 2030.

Gasoline and petroleum wholesalers are tethered to global crude oil prices, which can cause significant volatility for these companies. Crude oil prices plunged to historic lows in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated economic uncertainty reduced downstream demand for oil and gas products. However, crude oil prices had more than doubled by 2022 amid a strong economic rebound, which contributed to solid revenue growth as the economy boomed. In response to high inflation and rising interest rates, a cooling economy has caused revenue to fall well below pre-pandemic levels. Revenue has expanded at a CAGR of 1.8% to $145.5 billion through the end of 2025. However, revenue is expected to fall 6.2% in 2025 alone as crude oil prices have continued to shrink from their 2022 peak. Wholesalers generate profit primarily by purchasing crude oil from bulk stations or refineries and selling it to retail outlets. The prices of retail gasoline and crude oil strongly influence profit, as these make up more than 90.0% of the market for gasoline and petroleum wholesalers. Retail gasoline prices are a function of domestic demand for fuel, which may differ from the global supply and demand. Profit tends to be very low for gasoline and petroleum wholesalers because they don't have very much in the way of value-added services and operate primarily as middlemen, keeping profit below 2.0% of revenue. Revenue is expected to inch upward in the coming years as oil prices are expected to mostly level off, though they are forecast to shrink slightly. This will be offset by a forecast expansion in both nonresidential and residential construction markets, which can create ancillary demand for petroleum products. However, wholesalers will also endure severe threats from technologies that accelerate the adoption of renewable energy, which may cause a considerable reduction in demand for gasoline and petroleum. Revenue is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 0.3% to $147.7 billion through the end of 2030.

The statistic shows the average inflation rate in Canada from 1987 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. The inflation rate is calculated using the price increase of a defined product basket. This product basket contains products and services, on which the average consumer spends money throughout the year. They include expenses for groceries, clothes, rent, power, telecommunications, recreational activities and raw materials (e.g. gas, oil), as well as federal fees and taxes. In 2022, the average inflation rate in Canada was approximately 6.8 percent compared to the previous year. For comparison, inflation in India amounted to 5.56 percent that same year. Inflation in Canada In general, the inflation rate in Canada follows a global trend of decreasing inflation rates since 2011, with the lowest slump expected to occur during 2015, but forecasts show an increase over the following few years. Additionally, Canada's inflation rate is in quite good shape compared to the rest of the world. While oil and gas prices have dropped in Canada much like they have around the world, food and housing prices in Canada have been increasing. This has helped to offset some of the impact of dropping oil and gas prices and the effect this has had on Canada´s inflation rate. The annual consumer price index of food and non-alcoholic beverages in Canada has been steadily increasing over the last decade. The same is true for housing and other price indexes for the country. In general there is some confidence that the inflation rate will not stay this low for long, it is expected to return to a comfortable 2 percent by 2017 if estimates are correct.

The 2025 annual OPEC basket price stood at ***** U.S. dollars per barrel as of August. This would be lower than the 2024 average, which amounted to ***** U.S. dollars. The abbreviation OPEC stands for Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and includes Algeria, Angola, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and the United Arab Emirates. The aim of the OPEC is to coordinate the oil policies of its member states. It was founded in 1960 in Baghdad, Iraq. The OPEC Reference Basket The OPEC crude oil price is defined by the price of the so-called OPEC (Reference) basket. This basket is an average of prices of the various petroleum blends that are produced by the OPEC members. Some of these oil blends are, for example: Saharan Blend from Algeria, Basra Light from Iraq, Arab Light from Saudi Arabia, BCF 17 from Venezuela, et cetera. By increasing and decreasing its oil production, OPEC tries to keep the price between a given maxima and minima. Benchmark crude oil The OPEC basket is one of the most important benchmarks for crude oil prices worldwide. Other significant benchmarks are UK Brent, West Texas Intermediate (WTI), and Dubai Crude (Fateh). Because there are many types and grades of oil, such benchmarks are indispensable for referencing them on the global oil market. The 2025 fall in prices was the result of weakened demand outlooks exacerbated by extensive U.S. trade tariffs.
