# CheapGasCalgary.ca

> Independent, free, ad-supported fuel price comparison for Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and nearby communities. Compare reported regular gasoline, diesel and premium prices, explore station locations, read fuel price forecasts, and find public EV charging sites.

Fuel prices are in Canadian cents per litre (¢/L), not dollars per litre. Prices are community-reported and the feed is refreshed hourly; an individual station report may be older. Check report timestamps and confirm prices at the pump. Rankings cover tracked stations with available prices, not necessarily every station in the region. In "cheapest" rankings, reports from the last 12 hours rank ahead of older ones, and reports older than 36 hours do not count as current. Membership requirements may apply at some stations.

For a text-only starting point, use the expanded guide below. Its price snapshot is generated during site prerendering and may lag the price feed: check its "As of" timestamp before describing prices as current. Follow linked station pages for location and report details, and cite the relevant page with its timestamp when quoting prices. Forecasts are estimates, not guaranteed future pump prices.

EV charging rates are shown only where recorded; missing rates do not mean free charging. Check the charging network for current rates and availability. Cost comparisons depend on the assumptions displayed on the page.
