Today's bank rate is $1.00 US = $1.35 CND...

You won't get that but could expect anywhere from $1.28 - $1.32 depending on many variables....where you do the exchange, cash, credit card, terms of credit card, etc, etc..

What is normal range? Gas prices just jumped up 25 to 30 cent a liter in the last week. Diesel jump up about 5-10 cents. Like I said no rhyme nor reason, just more people on the road for the holidays and greedy owners.

Only two places with prices that are outside of the normal range Beaver Creek just before the Canada/Alaska boarder and Glennallen as mentioned in an earlier post.

If coming from Canada fuel at Haines Junction, if you need to top off before entering Alaska fuel at Destruction Bay the price is reasonable. Once you reach Alaska wait to fuel at Tok, eat at Fast Eddies great food, all the locals especially in the winter gather there to socialize.

Have a great time.

There is no understanding the fluctuation in prices now. It used to be long weekends but now prices go up and down every few days here.

In Yukon, winter prices are much less than during tourist season. Now we're at 111.9 Canadian cents per litre. In summer, it could be $1.30 per litre. That's for regular unleaded.

Price will be different along the Alaska Highway in British Columbia, and higher in the communities in Yukon.

The most expensive place to buy fuel is at the Hub in Glennallen, AK. So buy enough fuel in Canada to get you further towards Fairbanks, Valdez or Anchorage. If you have to buy fuel in Glennallen, only buy enough to get you someplace else.

The Canadian provinces are like the states in the US - different provinces have different amounts of taxes on fuel. So as said, check Gas Buddy.

Try this tool for pricing https://www.gasbuddy.com. Here in Canada the unit is a Litre and pricing is per litre in Canadian dollars. You can also get the site in an app for your phone. You don't say when you're coming up this way. if you are coming up between now and the end of April be prepared for the snow. Happy travels.
