# CheapGasCalgary.ca

> Full version with a live price snapshot: https://cheapgascalgary.ca/llms-full.txt

> Free, ad-supported site that shows live regular gasoline prices for stations across Calgary, Alberta. Prices are refreshed hourly from a Canadian fuel price datafeed. A daily "Fill up today or wait?" predictor combines Calgary's weekly Tue/Wed retail price cycle with WTI crude and Edmonton wholesale rack moves.

## What this site offers

- **Live cheapest gas list** for Calgary, sorted by price per litre, updated hourly — plus dedicated cheapest-diesel and cheapest-premium (91 octane) rankings.
- **Daily price prediction** ("Fill up today" / "Wait until Tuesday" / "No rush") with a confidence rating, backed by four signals: weekly retail cycle, 7-day moving-average trend, WTI crude (FRED `DCOILWTICO`), and Edmonton wholesale rack (Petro-Canada / NRCan), and a "Calgary gas prices tomorrow" forecast page.
- **Per-station detail pages** with address, brand, amenities, and 90-day price history.
- **Brand pages** with live price-ranked lists per chain: Costco (all Calgary gas bar locations), Co-op, Superstore/Mobil, Shell, Petro-Canada, Esso, Canadian Tire.
- **Area pages** for every Calgary quadrant plus Macleod Trail, 16 Avenue NW, Country Hills and the Tsuut'ina Nation / Taza area, and nearby towns (Okotoks, Airdrie, Balzac/CrossIron, Cochrane, Chestermere) as data allows.
- **A full Calgary gas price map** with every tracked station plotted live.
- **EV charging directory** for Calgary — every public charging site verifiable from open data, mapped and split into DC-fast, free-to-use, and per-network views (ChargePoint, FLO, Tesla, SWTCH). Charging rates are set by each network and are not published in a single feed, so a rate is shown only where the open data records one, alongside an estimated cost per 100 km and its cents-per-litre gasoline equivalent.
- **Editorial content** on Alberta gas taxes (2026 breakdown with calculator), the Tuesday/Wednesday Calgary cycle, fuel-efficient driving, EV vs gas, and warehouse-club gas (Costco / Co-op).
