Fuel tax and IFTA in Quebec
Part of every litre you buy in Quebec is fuel tax. If your trucks run in more than one province or state, that tax gets settled on IFTA, the fuel tax report you file every quarter. IFTA works out what you owe from the miles each truck drove in each jurisdiction, and credits the tax you already paid at the pump.
What that means for you: buying fuel in Quebec to dodge its tax doesn't work, because it evens out. But the price before tax, the station you pick, and your fuel card discount are real money. And IFTA only works if every fill-up is recorded against the right truck. Missing or doubled fuel receipts are a common reason IFTA numbers don't add up.
How Quebec compares
Fuel is your biggest bill after your drivers. Run it like one.
Knowing the average price in Quebec is a good start. The money is in knowing what your trucks paid, on which load, and whether that load still made money after fuel. TorqueAI is built around profit, and diesel is where most of it leaks out.
Fuel card charges come in by themselves
EFS, Comdata, AtoB, WEX, Love's and more. No more downloading the week's transactions from the card portal.
Every fill-up tied to a truck, driver and load
See fuel cost next to what the load paid, so you know which lanes and trucks eat your margin.
Duplicates flagged on import
The same fill-up doesn't get counted, or taken off a driver's pay, twice.
Profit per load after fuel, before you book
Real cost per mile from your own fuel, pay and repairs, not a rough guess.
Fuel deductions and surcharge on settlements
Owner-operator fuel comes off the right settlement, and surcharge tables are applied for you.
One place to audit it all
All fuel by truck and driver in one list, so the weekly check takes minutes, not an afternoon.
How to audit your diesel spend in 10 minutes a week
- Pull last week's fuel card transactions for every truck.
- Compare the price per litre each driver paid with this week's average for that province on this page.
- Flag fill-ups well above average. Common reasons: an off-network stop with no discount, a pricey city station, or a card used where it shouldn't be.
- Check gallons against the truck's tank size and the miles it ran. A fill bigger than the tank is a red flag.
- Look at fuel cost per load, not just per week. A lane can look fine on revenue and still lose money after fuel and deadhead.
In TorqueAI, steps 1 and 5 are already done: fuel card charges land on the right truck, driver and load automatically. See fuel deductions on settlements and fuel card integrations.
Diesel in Quebec: common questions
What is the average diesel price in Quebec this week?
$2.900/L for the week of November 2, 2026, averaged from 9 stations in Montreal, Trois-Rivières and Quebec City. That is $0.300 above the Canada average of $2.600/L.
Where is diesel cheapest in Quebec?
Of the cities we sample, Montreal was cheapest this week at $2.900/L, and Quebec City was highest at $2.900/L. Prices vary station to station, and your fuel card discount network matters as much as the city.
Should I fuel up in Quebec or wait?
Quebec is $0.300/L above the Canada average this week, about $165 more on a 550-litre fill. If your route takes you into a cheaper neighbouring province, buying only what you need here and filling up there can save money. Fuel tax evens out on your IFTA report, but the price before tax does not.
