We Canadians are used to paying way more for our gas or diesel that you are Stateside. I pay over 6$Cdn per gal(litres x current price) for my Sprinter which gets usually 30MPG(based on our Imperial gallon). That is likely to increase. I never worry about price or I would just quit Rving. Still is cheaper holiday than air/sea/road plus motels/hotels/crummy meals etc. Rving is here to stay as long as there is gas or diesel at the pumps. Costs me about $7 plus for my BMW. Gotta spend the money somewhere.
Holy cow. Fuel is expensive on the island. That's close to 1.60 per litre. We are paying around 1.28 in the BC interiour. Quite a difference. We will be there in. Few weeks. Think we will fill before we take the Ferry. That has to be the most expensive in Canada by a long shot. All part of living on an island I guess.
Cheers.
Well,maybe my calculations for my American friends is wonky. I pay usually $1.37.9 a litre for regular gas, 151.9 for premium(for my BMW) but it is down to 134.9 today 24Jul but usually goes up in the busy summer useage months. Of course, the scenery is beautiful here, and you dont have to drive far for a place to stay, visit, dry camp, RV resort etc so although gas is higher than Stateside, you dont have to travel as far, on average. Dont forget to check out Campbell River on the Island(Salmon Point RV or Browns Bay RV resorts) as you can watch the cruise ships sail past your 'door'. Come on over. Even the wildlife are laid back here...

PS Gas is cheaper here than anywhere in the Vancouver and outlying areas.
