If you are driving the Highway 401 anywhere between Kingston and Belleville, here is a tip that experienced Ontario drivers already know: take the Highway 49 exit south toward Deseronto. In about five minutes, you will find gas prices that are significantly cheaper than anything along the 401 itself.
L&M Enterprises at 43 Dundas Street in Deseronto is right on Highway 49, making it one of the easiest and most rewarding fuel stops for 401 travellers.
The Five-Minute Detour That Pays for Itself
The Highway 49 exit off the 401 is clearly marked. Head south and you will reach L&M Enterprises within five minutes. The road is straight, well-maintained, and easy to navigate even for larger vehicles.
The savings are real. Gas prices in the Deseronto and Tyendinaga area regularly come in significantly lower than what you will find at highway rest stops, truck stops, or gas stations in Belleville, Napanee, or along the 401 corridor. On a full tank, you can easily save enough to cover a coffee and a snack from our convenience store.
After you fill up, getting back on the 401 is just as easy. Head north on Highway 49 and you are back on the highway in minutes, continuing your journey with a full tank and more money in your pocket.
Perfect for Long-Distance Drivers
The 401 is the busiest highway in North America, carrying hundreds of thousands of vehicles every day. Whether you are making the Toronto to Montreal drive, heading from Toronto to Ottawa via the 416, driving between Kingston and Belleville for work, or on a road trip through Eastern Ontario, the Deseronto exit is your smart fuel stop.
Many experienced drivers and truckers already know about the Deseronto gas price advantage. RV forums, travel groups, and GasBuddy communities regularly mention the Highway 49 corridor as one of the best fuel stops in the province.

How to Find Us from the 401
Take the Highway 49 South exit from the 401 near Marysville. Drive south on Highway 49 for approximately five minutes. L&M Enterprises is located at 43 Dundas Street in Deseronto, right on the main road. You cannot miss us.

Why This Stop Makes Sense
Let us do the math. A typical sedan has a 50-litre tank. If Deseronto gas prices are even a few cents per litre cheaper than 401 highway stations, which they usually are by a noticeable margin, you save several dollars per fill-up.
If you drive the 401 regularly, those savings compound quickly. Weekly commuters could save hundreds of dollars a year just by making L&M Enterprises their regular fuel stop.
And the detour costs you less than ten minutes. That is a hard deal to beat.
