Methodology

Ranking combines the instant per-litre discount (combo cards like RBC × Petro-Canada) with loyalty-program value (PC Optimum, Petro-Points) and percentage cashback (applied to the current Quebec reference price: 177.6 ¢/L).

Annual fees are amortised over a typical Quebec driver's 1,500 L/year (~18,000 km at 8.3 L/100). If you drive more, adjust: a $120 fee is 8 ¢/L at 1,500 L but 4 ¢/L at 3,000 L.

This is not financial advice under AMF regulations — it's a public comparison of programs as advertised by each issuer. Verify terms on their site before applying.
