It's that time of year again...
I always track my fuel info and at the same time I track the price of gasoline at the places I fill up with diesel.
Here's the comparison for 2020, majority of fill-ups in Eastern Ontario.
My Diesel vs. Gasoline price at fill-up 2020
Low and High for gasoline was 65.6 to 117.2 cents per litre
Low and High for diesel was 80.5 to 123.9 cents per litre
39 fill-ups, total 31046 km driven, total fuel used 1575.9 litres, cost for fuel $1549.
Therefore approximately 5.08 l/100kms, or 55.6 mpg, or for our American friends 46.3 mpg
Diesel average price (at the time of fill-up) for the year has dropped from 117.05 in 2019 to 98.7 in 2020.
Gasoline average price (at the time of fill-up) for the year has also dropped from 114.2 in 2019 to 95.4 in 2020.
As can be plainly seen in the chart, the price of gasoline dropped drastically during the early lock-downs caused by covid-19.
But once the initial lock-downs were over, prices remained reasonably comparable for the remainder of the year.
