The reported annual increase was 2.3%, and the agency described the level as the highest since 2019. This is a national annual total; it does not measure household consumption alone, fuel used only by road vehicles, or changes in pump prices. The gross series includes sales of all road grades of gasoline, including quantities used in off-road activities such as farming, forestry, construction, and mining. Reading the headline figure as fuel consumed exclusively by drivers would therefore narrow the source’s stated coverage. The release reports sales under a defined statistical program, not a direct measure of kilometres driven or fuel burned by individual vehicles.","The release also reports net gasoline sales of 42.7 billion litres. That measure rose 1.9% from 2024 but remained 1.5% below its 2019 level. The proximity of the gross and net numbers does not mean that they share the same statistical definition. Statistics Canada defines net road-grade gasoline sales as sales taxed at road-use rates minus sales previously reported at road-use tax rates for which taxes were later fully or partially refunded. Gross sales, by contrast, cover total sales of all road grades, including off-road uses. The two figures should not be added together, and their difference should not automatically be described as theft, inventory, or a direct measure of fuel consumed. They answer related but distinct questions because the net series incorporates tax treatment and refunds.","A separate indicator describes the vehicle fleet. Canada had 24.2 million registered gasoline-powered road motor vehicles in 2025, up 1.8% or 419,645 vehicles from the previous year. The registration count does not show how far those vehicles travelled, how much fuel each used, or what share of the registered fleet was active. The agency says the increase in gasoline demand coincided with more vehicles on Canadian roads. That wording identifies a concurrence, not proof that the larger fleet alone caused the increase in sales. The same release says gasoline prices in 2025 were 8.6% lower than in 2024, partially because the consumer carbon price was removed effective April 1, 2025. “Partially” matters: the source does not attribute the entire price change, or all fuel sales growth, to that policy change.","Provincial results show that the national increase was not confined to one area. Gross gasoline sales rose year over year in every province and territory in 2025. Ontario’s increase was 363.8 million litres, or 2.2%; Alberta’s was 212.4 million litres, or 3.3%. Sales rebounded by 2.7% in British Columbia and 1.3% in Quebec. Statistics Canada notes that those two provinces also had the highest shares of zero-emission vehicle registrations in Canada in 2025. British Columbia paused its passenger-vehicle rebate program in May 2025, while Quebec’s program was scheduled to end on December 31, 2026. These facts provide context, but the release does not establish that rebate changes caused the provincial gasoline movements. The figures are provincial annual comparisons, not per-capita or per-vehicle estimates.","Other fuel measures also rebounded after declines in 2024. Net diesel sales rose 4.2% to 17.9 billion litres in 2025, while net liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sales increased 1.5% to 524.9 million litres. Both are reported on the net-sales basis and should not be compared as if they had the same coverage as gross gasoline. The underlying Gasoline and Other Petroleum Fuels Sold survey supplies data used by the Department of Finance to calculate fiscal equalization payments to provinces and territorial financing. Statistics Canada says the series is available nationally and by province and territory from 1987 onward.
