About Pump Price Canada
Radif Partners starts every city figure from the latest published official average, then moves it with the wholesale (rack) prices published by Ontario and, in eastern Canada, with the Régie de l'énergie's daily survey once its taxes are removed, to give an estimate for tomorrow, with the error measured over the past weeks printed next to it. Taxes are rebuilt line by line from the federal excise schedule and each province's fuel tax act. Nothing is sold, no station is promoted and no e-mail is asked for.
Why this site exists
Someone who searches for tomorrow's gas price mostly finds three kinds of pages. News sites repeat one sentence from a forecaster ("prices are expected to fall 2 cents") with no method and no track record. Price apps show what users reported, without saying how old each report is, and often ask you to install something or sign up. Official sources publish solid averages, but as tables or PDFs, weekly or monthly, with no fill-up cost and no idea of what tomorrow looks like.
This site does better than the first Google result because it gives every city its latest dated official price and an estimate for tomorrow whose method and past error are published, then turns them into the cost of a fill-up, a yearly budget and the taxes in a litre, with no app, no account and no form.
Who publishes it
The site is published by Radif Partners, a company that builds calculators from public data. It is not a public body and has no link with any government, energy regulator, oil company or station chain. It sells nothing, takes no commission, promotes no station and asks for no name or email. Pages carry no affiliate links.

Where the figures come from
The Government of Ontario weekly survey, the Régie de l’énergie du Québec daily survey, the maximum prices set by the Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador regulators, Statistics Canada table 18-10-0001-01, the Ontario wholesale prices, and the fuel tax rates published by Finance Canada and each province. The method page gives every rule and the error measured for each city; the editorial policy explains how corrections are made.
What the site does not do
It does not know the price at a given station, and it does not predict what one retailer will post. Its estimate for tomorrow is a city average moved by the wholesale market and by dated taxes, shown with its past error. It is information, not a guarantee of any price.
