Best Diesel Prices in US before entering Canada

Heading to the Canadian side of Niagra Falls and was wondering where I would find the best prices on diesel fuel before entering Canada. I hear that fuel prices in Canada are high and would like to fill up on the US side.
Thanks.

  • Don't forget the Imperial Gallon has more volume than the US Gallon.

    $3.74 and $3.75 at the rez stations I posted above that are right out side of Niagara Falls, NY. And $3.57 at the rez station, west of Buffalo, just off the thruway (I-90) at exit 58, Silver Creek near the county line, at the Seneca One Stop which is owned by the Seneca Nation of Indians.


    I sure missed those prices. The one's I saw were the on the thruway and they seems to be a bit higher.
  • Between NY State diesel prices and Ontario diesel prices there might not be that much difference. Looks like you might pay around $4.10 (non-reservation) in NY and you might pay $1.16CND/L so roughly maybe $4.25-$4.35US/gal depending on your exchage rate.

    In Canada (not sure about in the US), you might find some reservations with very low prices (under $0.90CND/L (under $3.40US/gal) but some of them have dyed diesel.

  • On the Indian Reservation just north east of Niagara Falls you will find several Native American tax free gas stations that run about 20 cents a gallon cheaper than the off rez stations. I don't know if they accept credit cards.

    Randy's Smoke Shop
    1325 Upper Mountain Rd near Callan Dr
    Lewiston, NY

    Smokin Joes
    2293 Saunders Settlement Rd near Chew Rd
    Sanford, NY

    You can find maps and phone numbers on Gas Buddy, Just look under Buffalo, NY and make sure you click diesel.
  • Even if you don't have a smartphone, there is a GasBuddy site on the web that will be an occasional eye-opener (~.40/gal).

    If you have the time, look up the duty free store where you plan to cross into Canada, may have fuel stops with good prices.
