Damn. That is a road trip for sure.

How much did you pay in gas in the various states you went through?

Here in NJ it’s $3.30 a gallon.

In Yukon Territory......we paid $2.05 Canadian per liter which is $7.94 per gallon (diesel) but again that’s Canadian.

Translating that to American $7.94 is approximately $5.95 US per “gallon”.

So, that one fill up cost me, plus or minus a few dollars, $928.00 for 156 gallons.

I estimate we used about 1,600 gallons for the whole trip and paid an average from Austin to Yukon and back of about $4.50 per gallon or $7,200.

This was all for diesel by the way.

I think a reflection of this sad fact about fuel in Canada is that the highways, and I mean highways like our Interstates are absolutely empty most of the time. You will see about 1 car every 5 minutes and almost zero big trucks.

They have shot themselves in the foot with taxes on fuel (aka socialism) and collectively are too stupid to know it. Everybody has to stay home because they cannot afford fuel.

But, hey!, they get free health care!
