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!
That’s a lot of money no matter how you look at it.
My daughter-in-law is from Calgary. Been there once.
As soon as you’re out of the city limits it wide open space, nothing or no one around for miles.
Yeah, ‘’free health care’’.
My daughter-in-laws step father need a heart bypass.
It was six months to get on a waiting list and then eighteen months of waiting after that for the procedure.
He came here, actually to Scottsdale , AZ and got it done in a week.
