I have a harder time finding diesel in Calgary and Vancouver than I do in the smaller towns and villages in BC.
And yes Diesel is usually cheaper than reg gas, and we haven't had leaded gas in Canada in years, Sue must have had a typo.
Also I find more places to fill up propane in BC than I do in Wash State.
One last thing, I always run on the top 1/2 of my fuel tank when traveling for a couple reasons.
- 1/2 tank of fuel usually lasts about 3 to 4 hrs traveling time, and after those many hours I find it a good time for a stretch, and walk about.
- and when I stop I always walk around the rig feeling the hubs to see if any are running warm.
- by running on the top 1/2 of the tank, "if" I have a hard time finding fuel I know I can continue down the road for a few hours or to the next town for fuel.
Also sometimes in smaller villages they will have a diesel pump, however they could be out of fuel and waiting for a fuel truck, or power outages which are common in the summer around here with storms and Forrest fires.
Also I carry cash enough for a couple tanks of fuel, camp site and or food etc in case they either don't exsept credit cards / debit cards.
