Gasoline Sales by Volume

Question

I'm looking for data on gasoline sales by volume for Ontario in 2007, either monthly or quarterly. It can be wholesale or retail, either gasoline in general or regular, unleaded. I haven't been able to come up with anything at that level of geography.


Answer

I’ve received the following response from subject matter:

“We have on the Statcan website CAMSIM table 326-0009 the average retail prices for gasoline and fuel oil, not the sales of volume, available by urban center.”
