I hope that I didn't misrepresent how my fuel log could be used. If 2014 fuel was say 10% higher or lower overall then you would basically pay that differential.
Second I'd bet a nickle that a high priced area in 2013 will be a high priced area in 2014. Therefore manage your fuel purchases to minimize cost without getting into the situation of running low or out of fuel.
For example I ran from Eagle River via Valdez to Tok on the return trip w/o filling because I knew what was available in Tok on the inbound trip. ie I knew fuel was available in Tok and every station along that route was higher priced. Of course no one can guarantee anything for 2014 but I'll bet another nickle that relative speaking things won't change much.
The fuel log doesn't predict cost or adjust for local variations.
FYI Diesel in Canada is 20 cents/gallon less than gasoline. For my entire trip the average cost for diesel was $4.35/gallon.
