About CheapGasEdmonton.ca

An independent fuel-price comparison tool for Edmonton and nearby towns.

Our Mission

Filling a tank in Edmonton can cost anywhere from $60 to over $120 depending on your vehicle. With prices fluctuating daily — and sometimes multiple times in a single day — it can be hard to know whether you're getting a fair deal. CheapGasEdmonton.ca exists to give every driver in the city clear, up-to-date pricing information so you can make a confident, informed decision at the pump.

We're not a gas station, an oil company, or affiliated with any fuel brand. We're an independent information tool with a simple goal: help Edmontonians save money on one of their biggest recurring household expenses.

Where Does the Data Come From?

Gas prices are sourced from GasBuddy community price reports, the public CBC Edmonton gas-price feed, and OpenStreetMap station locations. OpenStreetMap provides directory information, not pump prices. We check available price sources hourly and keep source report times separate from the time our system checked the data.

Because the data is third-party sourced, there can occasionally be a lag between when a station changes its price at the pump and when that change appears on our site. Price reports are observations, not guarantees of a station’s current price. Reports more than 36 hours old are labelled out of date. Check the station’s report time and confirm the price at the pump.

Coverage

We currently cover hundreds of stations across Edmonton and the surrounding towns — Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Fort Saskatchewan and Beaumont. This includes stations operated under brands such as:

Live diesel and premium rankings are available too. If you notice a station missing from our database, please let us know.

No Affiliation with Any Fuel Brand

CheapGasEdmonton.ca is completely independent. We receive no compensation from any gas station, fuel company, or oil refinery. Our only revenue source is small contextual advertisements displayed on the site. These ads do not influence the order in which stations appear — sorting is always by price (cheapest first) and/or distance from your location.

Privacy Commitment

When you use the "Nearest to Me" feature, your browser sends coordinates over HTTPS to our API to query nearby stations. We do not store them in the station database. Request URLs may appear in server or CDN access logs. For full details, please read our Privacy Policy.

Editorial Standards

CheapGasEdmonton.ca publishes practical explainers alongside its station directory. Articles identify their publisher, publication date and last review date. Tax rates and other changing facts should include an effective date and a link to the relevant official source. Our reference sources include:

  • Pump prices: our own hourly price feed and historical database, plus the public Kalibrate Canada / GasBuddy public pages for spot checks.
  • Wholesale (rack) prices: the publicly posted Edmonton terminal rack postings from Petro-Canada / Suncor and Cenovus, and NRCan's wholesale prices report.
  • Crude oil benchmarks: the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and the St. Louis Fed FRED series for WTI (DCOILWTICO).
  • Taxes & carbon levy: the federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act schedules and the Alberta Government's official fuel tax pages.
  • Regulatory & competition issues: Canadian Competition Bureau reports on retail gasoline pricing and the Edmonton Journal / Globe and Mail business sections.

We do not accept payment for editorial placement and we do not publish sponsored content. A "Last reviewed" date records an editorial revision; it does not mean every price mentioned is current. Forecasts describe model estimates and their assumptions. If you find an error, please contact us via the Contact page and we will correct it and note the change at the bottom of the article.

Corrections Policy

When we publish a correction we update the affected article, change the "Last reviewed" date, and — for material corrections (a wrong number, a misattributed statement, an incorrect tax rate) — add a dated note at the bottom of the article describing what changed and why. Minor typo fixes are not annotated.
