Those prices pretty much mirror what I paid at Campbell River, Prince Rupert, and Juneau

Tom, are you getting ready to head north?

DDW · May 17, 2022

6 days ago paid $5.65 at Cap Sante Anacortes. I'm surprised Port McNeill was that low. Will probably fill up again in Ketchikan.

Predicted 35-45 tonight!

No. 15k for fuel is ridiculous. We are staying on the lower river this year.

Filled my tanks this winter with 500 gallons at 2.70 gallon

C lectric · May 17, 2022

Got to ask, are you quoting per gallon or per litre? May seen like a foolish question and I am assuming you are quoting per U.S. gallon but is that the case?

Last week I filled up and the cost in Gibsons, B.C was 2.34 L or 8.86 per USG / 10.26 per Imp. gal.

We are intending to travel to the Broughtons for about 4-6 weeks.

Sounds cheap. I just paid $8.56/gal in Death Valley.

I am quoting US gallons but also US dollars. $8.86 Canadian is $6.91 US. We are happy you give us Southerners a nice discount these days.

Good Choice.

Sitka is surprising at $4.94. That's cheaper than truck stop prices in the lower 48 these days.

That's what they told me. Maybe base price without taxes.

Bella Bella $2.35 CAD / L + 5% GST. = $7.50 U$. that's gas, diesel is just a few pennies lower

Btw, the lowest cost fuel on the BC inside passage is by arranging to have it delivered by truck at the pier in Sointula, usually done on Thursdays. Coop fuel 250-973-6717.

If it’s the same as here in Sitka, he doesn’t pay tax because he is too old.:lol:
