This 478-mile drive crosses into Canada 381 miles after leaving New York City, and a typical car that starts full needs one fuel stop: Geneseo, NY (318 miles in). A truck towing a trailer, at about 253 miles a tank, needs two: Binghamton, NY (176 miles in) and Buffalo, NY (380 miles in).
The longest stretch without a station within 2 miles of the road is 22 miles, from Warsaw, NY to 2 miles before East Aurora, NY. Stations in Canada sell fuel by the litre (a US gallon is 3.79 litres). The road is 40% longer than the straight line between New York City and Toronto (342 miles).

Truck towing a trailer
11 mpg, 23-gallon tank: about 253 miles on a full tank.
| Stop | Station | From start | Tank on arrival |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | GulfBinghamton, NY | 176 mi | 30% |
| 2 | TopsBuffalo, NY | 380 mi | 19% |
Arrive in Toronto with about 61% of the tank.
Both plans leave New York City with a full tank, keep 15% in reserve, fill up completely at each stop and prefer stations in or near towns, as Fillerup does by default. Stops are chosen from stations within 2 miles of the route.
Driving back: Toronto to New York City
The drive back from Toronto to New York City is 477 miles, 1 mile shorter than the way there, and its longest stretch without a station within 2 miles is the same 22 miles, between 2 miles past East Aurora, NY and Warsaw, NY. The stops fall in other places, because the plan starts with a full tank in Toronto:
Typical car
| Stop | Station | From start | Tank on arrival |

No stretch goes 45 miles or more without a station within 2 miles. A station missing from OpenStreetMap would make a stretch look longer than it is, and a mapped station may have closed, so treat these as a guide.
Stations along the way
OpenStreetMap lists 729 stations within 2 miles of this route. 448 of them are in the New York City and Toronto areas; of the 281 in between, the most are in Binghamton, NY (18), Buffalo, NY (13) and Fort Erie, ON (13).
553 of them have a brand in the data; the most common are Shell (58), Sunoco (56) and Esso (55).
35 are tagged as open 24/7. Stations without that tag may still be open around the clock: the data can't tell.
| Town | Stations | From start |
|---|---|---|
| Binghamton, NY | 18 | 176 mi |
| Buffalo, NY | 13 | 380 mi |
| Fort Erie, ON | 13 | 383 mi |
| Dunmore, PA | 8 | 119 mi |
| Johnson City, NY | 8 | 180 mi |
| Bath, NY | 8 | 272 mi |
From 373 miles to 404 miles into the drive the route runs close to the US–Canada border, at the edge of the station data, so a station there may be missing from these counts, and no stretch without stations is reported there.
How this page was made
- Route: from the centre of New York City to the centre of Toronto and back, each direction routed on its own, by Geoapify routing (fetched November 12, 2026). Fillerup asks for the route again when you open the trip, so its numbers can differ a little.
- Stations: every usable fuel station in OpenStreetMap within 2 miles of the route (private, disused and truck-only ones left out), from Fillerup’s station data as of November 11, 2026.
- Stops: Fillerup’s own planner, with the two vehicles above, each way from a full tank. Its picks favour stations in towns over isolated pumps, so a stop can come earlier than the tank strictly needs.
- The New York City and Toronto areas: within 47 miles of New York City and 47 miles of Toronto, the distance within which Fillerup’s route selection counts a city as part of the metro (it grows with the metro’s population), leaving out places nearer another metro’s centre or across a border.
- Not covered: fuel prices, opening hours beyond the 24/7 tag, road conditions, closures and detours.
