Kalibrate Canada collects fuel volumes at approximately two-thirds of Canada’s retail gasoline stations and indicates that the average site throughput at Canadian gas stations was 3.1% and 2.9% higher in the first and second quarters of 2025, respectively, on a year-over-year basis.
Declining pump prices may be a contributing factor to the increased average site throughputs, especially in the second quarter of 2025 when pump prices reached a four-year low. Compared to the previous year, pump prices in the second quarter of 2025 were 26.1 cents per litre lower, due to the elimination of carbon taxes in most provinces and lower crude oil prices.
Although the average site throughput at Canadian gasoline stations has outperformed the previous year during the last four quarters, site throughputs still remain below pre-COVID levels. During the first half of 2025, the average site throughput was 4.3% lower compared to the first half of 2019.
