Gas prices in Regina: check the arithmetic behind a bargain

We don’t publish live Regina prices, and we won’t pretend to. What we can do is help you judge the numbers you find: which taxes are baked into every Regina litre, why a city “average” can mislead you, and when a cheaper station across town actually leaves money in your pocket.

What’s in the price at a Regina pump

Every station in Regina pays the same per-litre taxes, so tax never explains why one Regina station is cheaper than another. It does explain why Regina can differ from Winnipeg or Calgary. As of November 2026:

• Saskatchewan fuel tax: 15¢ per litre on gasoline and diesel, according to the Saskatchewan eTax Services fuel tax page.
• Federal excise tax: 0¢ for now. Ottawa suspended its 10¢/L gasoline excise tax on 20 April 2026, and legislation passed in October extends that suspension to 31 January 2027. It comes back at 5¢/L from 1 February 2027 and returns to the full 10¢/L on 1 April 2027 (Department of Finance Canada). Expect Regina pump prices to rise in those two steps, all else being equal.
• No carbon charge. The federal fuel charge stopped applying in Saskatchewan on 1 April 2025 (Department of Finance Canada).
• 5% GST, but no PST. Natural Resources Canada notes that GST is charged on top of the fuel taxes, and that provincial sales taxes don’t apply to gasoline except in HST provinces and Quebec (NRCan). So Saskatchewan’s 6% PST isn’t part of your fill-up.
• No city fuel tax. NRCan lists only Vancouver, Victoria and Montréal as places with an extra local gasoline tax, so a Regina litre and a Moose Jaw litre carry the same tax load.

Where Regina drivers usually fill up

Regina has two ring routes, and which one you’re on changes the maths. The Regina Bypass, completed in October 2019, is a 44 km four-lane link between Highway 1 and Highway 11 that forms a partial ring around the city, with major junctions at Highways 6 and 33. The older Ring Road is the in-city loop; because the bypass had no northeast leg between Highway 11 and the Trans-Canada (Victoria Avenue) as of 2021, the Ring Road has been the link on that side.

If you’re travelling through on the bypass, every exit you take to chase a city price adds kilometres, lights and time, so a slightly higher price near your route can still be the cheaper stop overall. For in-town errands, compare stations on the side of the Ring Road you’re already on. Crossing the city for a couple of cents rarely pays, as the example below shows.

Check the arithmetic behind a bargain

Regina price pages often boil the market down to a minimum, a maximum and an average. Those three numbers should describe the same fuel grade and the same set of reports. If the average sits outside the range, or the “minimum” is a single report from last week, the summary isn’t telling you where to stop. Use it as background, then look at individual station reports.

Using GasBuddy Regina results

1. Set the search to Regina, Saskatchewan, and pick your actual grade (regular, premium or diesel) before you sort.
2. Check the age of the lowest prices. A report from this morning beats a lower one from two days ago.
3. If a summary’s average falls outside its own min–max range, ignore the summary and read the station list.
4. For a warehouse club price, check that you can actually use it: Costco Canada’s gas stations are members-only (see our Costco gas guide).
5. Confirm on the official GasBuddy website or app, then at the pump.

Regina worked example: is the extra drive worth it?

This is an invented comparison to show the arithmetic, not a quoted Regina price. Say you’re buying 50 litres and a station across the city is 7 cents per litre cheaper, but reaching it adds 12 km.

Item	Calculation	Result
Gross saving	50 × 7/100	C$3.50
Extra driving fuel cost	12 extra km × 8 L/100 km ÷ 100 × C$1.60 per litre	C$1.54
Net saving before time and other costs	Gross saving − extra fuel	C$1.96

The detour burns 44% of the saving and leaves you about two dollars, before you count 15 or 20 minutes in traffic. Worth it on a full tank with time to spare; not worth a special trip. Run your own numbers in the trip fuel cost calculator.

Does Saskatchewan charge PST on gas?

No. Saskatchewan’s 6% PST doesn’t apply to gasoline. What you pay is the 15¢/L provincial fuel tax plus 5% GST on the total, per NRCan and the CRA’s GST/HST rate table.

Will Regina gas prices go up tomorrow?

Nobody can tell you that reliably, including us. Retail prices follow wholesale costs and local competition. The one change we can date is the federal excise tax returning in two steps (1 February and 1 April 2027), described above.

Is a large price gap always a real deal?

Not always. Check that both prices are the same grade, recent, and at stations you can actually reach. A big gap is often an old report that nobody has updated yet.
