Many Thanks GUK, my wife got the same message about the road closure last night. I would hope they have it fixed before we get there.
Thanks Chad, we are looking forward to the trip. Tell your better half we said hello.

Fuel prices when adjusted for US -vs- Canada dollar are very similar to Alaska fuel prices.
Paid a high of $2.09 a liter for diesel . Paid a low of $4.39 a gallon for diesel in rural Minnesota.
Gas prices in the states were about like Alaska prices when this whole mess started. $3.39 gallon for regular.

There is a whole lot of price gouging going on all over the place. Retailers should be hung by their delicate parts.
In remote Pilot Point Alaska, population about 60, gas and jet A/stove oil just jumped yesterday from $6 a gallon to $7.80, not pleasant, but understandable all things considered. Naknek, just up the coast about 80 miles and with better infastructure and services, gas is $11.00 a gallon. That should be criminal.

I've watched gas prices change at the local gas station three times in one day, multiple times in the last couple of months. Yet they only get fuel delivered once a week. It's all the same gas, in the same tank, they just keep changing how much they are charging for it.

State tax is minimal in most states in the total price, often 10to 40 cents a gallon. Oregon is very high, (4th most, I think), at almost 70 cents. California is extremely high at 84 cents. Federal is low, in the big scheme of things, and the same for everybody at .184 per gallon. Of course, local tax varies considerably.
