The average site throughput sales at Canadian gasoline stations in the second quarter was 0.4% lower compared to a year ago and 6.2% lower than in the second quarter of 2019. Average site throughputs have improved since the second quarter of 2020, when lockdown measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus significantly reduced fuel sales. Since then, fuel sales have recovered but remain below pre-pandemic levels. Several reasons may have contributed to reduced fuel sales:
- higher fuel prices compared to a year ago, mainly due to higher crude oil prices and higher fuel taxes
- economic factors, including lower employment growth, lower GDP growth and higher unemployment compared to last year
- greater fuel efficiency of the fuel fleet as electric vehicles make up a larger percentage of the fleet and older, less fuel-efficient gas-powered vehicles are retired
- work-from-home trends are higher compared to before the pandemic
