Niagara Falls has two fuel markets in one city: the tourist zone around Clifton Hill and the QEW ramps, where pumps price for visitors who don’t know better, and the residential corridors — Lundy’s Lane west of the tourist strip, McLeod Road, Thorold Stone Road and Chippawa — where locals actually fill up. The spread between the two on a summer weekend can be dramatic.
If you are visiting, the rule of thumb is simple: drive five minutes away from the Falls before filling, or better, check the ranked list below first. It covers every Niagara Falls and Chippawa station we track, cheapest first, refreshed hourly — and the St. Catharines page is close enough to be worth a look before the QEW home.
