Hamilton’s pump prices split roughly along the escarpment. The Mountain’s big arterials — Upper James, Mohawk, Rymal — and the lower city’s Barton and Centennial corridors carry a healthy mix of independents that keep the majors honest, while the amalgamated communities of Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Dundas and Waterdown each bring their own cluster of stations, including the Costco gas bar that anchors the low end for members.
QEW and Highway 403 commuters have the most room to be choosy: stations right at the interchanges price for convenience, while the same brands a few blocks into the city often run cheaper. The list below ranks every Hamilton-area station we track — Stoney Creek through Waterdown — by current price, refreshed hourly.
