How New Brunswick compares
New Brunswick's diesel rate of $0.4182 is the 13th highest of the 57 jurisdictions that tax diesel through IFTA this quarter. The average among them is $0.3696; the lowest is Oklahoma at $0.1900 and the highest is California at $0.9790.
New Brunswick sets its rate in Canadian dollars per litre: $0.1545 CAD/L for diesel this quarter, the same as last quarter. The U.S. dollar figure is converted at the IFTA exchange rate for the quarter, so it can move even when the provincial rate does not.
