Make sure you have a few hundred dollars Canadian cash in your pocket.
We always travel with enough cash for at least a full tank of fuel that’s about $250 plus another $250 for campgrounds, sani dumps etc..
And last week it all paid off for us:
Now we were lucky we only stopped to get a bag of ice, however the the Petro Canada website was hacked and no petro Canada gas station pumps or stations would take credit cards at all, cash only for fuel.
We were on Hwy 37 at Meziadin Jct Gas Station and there were a lot of rigs that were too low on fuel to continue their trip. The only gas station is Stewart is also a Petro Canada station.
The system is still having issues today, but you can pay inside with a credit card, just not at the pumps.
