Bill, so true about the Hub Station being expensive. But at times I find it difficult to avoid getting fuel there. A lot depends on what type/length of RV you are driving. Our last four round trips to/from Alaska we were running a Dodge diesel with a truck camper, which got about 12 to 15 mpg. I could run from Anchorage to Valdez on a single tank of fuel if need be, but if I was turning north on the Richardson or continuing on the Glenn Hwy (Tok Cut Off) I generally would top off in Glennallen, often at the Hub. One trip we didn't top off, headed up the Richardson toward Delta, planning on getting fuel at the Paxson Roadhouse. When we got there, their fuel pumps weren't working, no fuel available. Made it into Delta running on fumes. Over the years I have found I am much better at giving advice, than following it myself. I try to drive on the top half of my fuel tank, but sometimes I am guilty of not doing it. LOL
