They match gas price to the state in the USA along the border making many people upset here only 60 miles away....
....this is de rigueur for any gasoline retailers operating near the border regions (for example, our border with the US; the US border with Mexico). The gas prices on "our side" in Canada within about a 15 minute drive of the US is about 10~13% less expensive (because of US gas retailer cheap competition 10 miles away). On the US side, the northern states close to the Canadian border price their gas higher than say, ~~40 or so miles further south (where would a far northern Vermonter, Mainer or New Yorker get cheaper gas? In Canada? LOL! flip side, the gas on the US side, even though more expensive than further south, is dirt cheap compared with Canadian stuff).
