Palmer to Valdez to Tok is about 500 miles and I prefer to limit my fuel stops to 400 miles. So looking for suggestions on best expected prices for say 20 gal of diesel before Tok.
I've allocated $5/gal for the entire trip including the lower 48, however I'm always willing to pay less when I can!
For this particular leg, I'd recommend somewhere in Glennallen. Last summer (2012), I got diesel at a Chevron (?) station on the SW side of Glennallen (i.e. kindof, sorta coming into town) that was a few cents cheaper than the Tesoro that is at the junction of the Glenn and Richardson. If Eureka is still open (it was for sale recently), it is kind of a neat place to stop for pie and coffee.
For 20 gallons, there probably won't be an appreciable difference between anywhere and Glennallen and I'd recommend getting the 20 in Glennallen...mostly for the "just-in-case" factor.
