Great road trip! Great pictures. Only 5880 kilometers that come out to a mere 3,653.7 miles. You should have kept gas receipts to figure out exact mpgs for the entire trip!! So now you have to go do it again.

I was told several times to stop taking pics of the car and more of her/us lol!!!Quote, originally posted by vibolista »Great road trip! Great pictures.

Oh well, maybe next time!The cheapest gas I filled up with was $2.75/gal in Bellingham, Wa. The most expensive was $3.20/gal although one place I saw was selling at $3.60/gal. Not bad considering it's $1.049/L here!

I hear that's one of the most expensive ways to processl oil into gasoline. Hope you have a super light feather weight accelerator foot! But then I consider what we are currently paying: $2.79/gallon US pretty darned expensive, anyway. I bought gasoline for 17 cents a gallon in Boulder, Colorado and Tampa, Florida, back in 1971!!!!! And some how, the Oil Companies were still managing to make an ample profit back then. Hmmm?!?

Hope you have a super light feather weight accelerator foot! I'm no overly sure as to where our gas comes from but Alberta would be my best guess. And no, I don't....The cheapest gas I ever put into any car was in Coeur D'alene, Id for $1.39/gal back before the recession. Most expensive was filling up in Vancouver, BC for $1.479/L ($5.59/gal with dollar at par) during the oil gouging a few years ago... Welcome to BC (Bring Cash)!!!
