fuel prices

[Jerry W Campbell]

Normally when we get home from down south some time in March the last thing we do is fill up our fuel tanks. So next winter we can make down south without getting fuel. This year I think the price of diesel was somewhere around $4.50 per gallon. I filled our 100 gallon tank but I just couldn't fill the 85 gallon aux tank. It just hurt me too bad. So I decided to wait until the fall. The price is sure to be a lot lower then. Oops, I think I may have made a mistake.
This is starting to cramp my style. My highway days may be over. I've got about 25,000 miles on WVO but you can't find it anymore.
We can only hope.

What hit me upside the head recently is how out of whack diesel prices are now. We can easily drop a couple grand on a very modest trip. You can get a ticket to hawaii for 400 and a room for 1400. So it costs less the fly to hawaii for a week than drive the bus. WTF - we live in an upside down world for sure. I really am scared where this all ends up

 "So it costs less the fly to hawaii for a week than drive the bus."
Wow, that must be some bus ya got there if you can drive it to hawaii.

We have a small antique metal sign that says: Home is where we park it - soo we guess we can't say "Wonder if we'll have enough ($$$ & fuel)  to make it home!? LOL

[Dave5Cs]

Yep glad we are parked right now even though diesel is only $4.89 here.

Dawson city, we paid $2.20 litre. Currently at Fort Nelson. last night, two seperate groups of about 25 each pulled in. They are both a caravan group. Mostly Diesel pushers, couple 5th wheel, a tt and one slide in. Talked to one lady. They are pretty organized, they all use radios, go at individual pace, have designated meeting and stopping points, and last guy keeps track of any rigs with issues. Glad we got here before them, as we got one of the pull throughs. About half of them had to unhook toad and back into a space.Both groups have a approx. 10" colorful round sticker affixed to top of windshield with a 2 digit large number. They depart campgrounds at each pace, fortunately. Don't want to get behind a wagon train.

No relief in sight for July oil closed at $122.00 for July  delivery lol we have Joe working on it though 

[niles500]

Biden and the masses  keep trying to blame big oil, between the well and your tank their are more hands touching product than a lap dancer at a bachelor party. And they're all making their margins, like every other successful business.

Stayed at Coal River rv park. Park is adequate for one night. It has a small 4 table restaurant. Had supper there. it was decent. When we left got some fuel for insurance, as fuel stops are far apart in this section. $2.49.9 /L. WOW. Currently at Watson lake with all the signs from everywhere. Incredible! There are 88,000 signs there as of 2018. It now looks more like a sign forest. Fuel here at $2.27/L.

Fuel does get scarce & more expensive in that neck of the woods. It's always a good idea to run on the top 1/2 of the tank. 10-4 on the sign forest - a unique setting, signs from everywhere! - did you walk up & down the isles?

[chessie4905]

spent almost two hours. Kalamazoo, Penn State, several other location I've heard of. Even some towns Cliffs has mentioned in the past, etc.
heading to Tesin tomorrow, two nights, then to Whitehorse.

[dtcerrato]

Teslin, there's Wolf Creek CG coming into Whitehorse on the right side we enjoy - no hook ups but great campsites on the creek & free split firewood - they fill up fast. Used to do Walmart & the Canadian tire there but they are less RV friendly now.
Will you be doing the top of the world highway through Dawson City (Taylor Highway) free ferry over the Yukon River? A puckering experience and alternate to the atrocious stretch of Alcan for over 100 miles in Yukon/Alaska (pot holes & frost heaves).
