Last summer we did the opposite of wanderingdogs, entered Canada near Oroville, came back through Alberta. Gas prices are higher in Canada so most folks try not to cross until they get way out west.
I'll second that! Not only is fuel going to cost you more, but so will most everything else. Grocery's, beer/liquor, propane, etc. Heck you could always stay south of the border till you hit BC, then cross over and head north. You hit Mile 0 of the Alaska Hwy at Dawson Creek.
You would really enjoy the trip through BC, more so than Alberta, as it is so beautiful..(although I may be somewhat biased..lol)
This site has links to fuel and campgrounds along the Alaska Hwy, you might find handy.

I'll agree that fuel,liquor and dairy products are more expensive here. However for a short period last summer diesel was cheaper in Winnipeg than Grand Forks N.D. And I can still fill a 20 lb. propane tank for $12. Most groceries are the same price as across the border, only liquor will always be more expensive here!! Now bear in mind one USD at present is 1.06 Cdn so you are ahead there. Each to his own as they say, however some costs are over exaggerated! Merry Christmas
