Canada’s gas price average held steady at $1.444 per litre of regular fuel over the past week, according to data from Kalibrate. That’s nearly a 14 per cent discount year over year.
North Bay, Ont. and Gatineau, Que. were the most volatile markets this week, with prices falling 8.6 cents per litre in the former, and rising 5.4 cents per litre in the latter.
Gas prices were a big factor in this week’s inflation reading from Statistics Canada. The federal data agency said the annualized inflation rate rose to 1.9 per cent in June from 1.7 per cent in May.
“Headline inflation grew at a faster pace, as gasoline prices fell to a lesser extent in June (-13.4 per cent) than in May (-15.5 per cent),” StatCan wrote on Tuesday.
“Year over year, the CPI (consumer price index) excluding energy (+2.7 per cent) remained higher than the CPI in June, partly due to the removal of consumer carbon pricing in April.”
While the elimination of the consumer-facing carbon tax has cooled typically hot summer gas prices in Canada, analysts in the United States say the summer driving season has been unusually cheap south of the border as well.
Researchers at the Energy Policy Research Foundation are asking, “Where’s the spike?”
“U.S. gasoline prices generally rise substantially with the onset of the summer driving season. However, except for California and the other West Coast states, prices have been generally flat during the summer of 2025, a distinct deviation from historical trends,” wrote researchers at the Washington, D.C.-based non-profit.
“This is even more surprising given that in the current context demand has not slackened. Vehicle miles traveled continue their upward trend, albeit with improving efficiency, and there are several risk factors that could lead to tight supplies.”
