I wouldn’t avoid the prairies to save on gas. The gas in the prairies right now is about a 1.03 per litre (Canadian) or about 3.08 per gallon (American funds American gallon). That’s not far off of what gas is in the west coast states right now. Paying an extra 10 percent for fuel to explore another country seems worth it to me. We like travelling in the prairies.
Gas prices in Canada may become more "volatile" in the very near future (tomorrow in some places) when some provinces institute their own, or the newly federally mandated, carbon taxes or cap and trade systems. Not just gas prices, but anything that burns carbon will have prices adjusted upwards. )
