Surprisingly enough, the prices are pretty stable around here.

That is true but I found it to be semi-useful. It's come in handy a few times. It relies on the people reporting to do it. Honestly. Website does show when the last reporting was though.

$4.89 / gallon here now. New gas taxes took effect July, but the $0.06 per gallon of new gas tax ended up being $0.20 per gallon at the pump. This is price gouging. Many stations are over $5 per gallon now for diesel.

Well since my last report in February, diesel is down 10-15 cents since then in Victoria (was $184.9). Current Victoria prices are in the $171.9-1.749. Depending on where in BC, it's as low as $1.449/L (Prince George) and highest I saw was $1.809, but that was in northern BC at Dease Lake.

My last fill on Wednesday in Hope. BC was $1.709/L. Current Victoria prices are in the $171.9-1.749.

On my recent 12 day Alaska road trip, saw other Canadian prices... $1.499 in Quesnel, BC, $1.609 in Whitehorse, $1.609 in New Hazelton, BC.

In Alaska, first fill there was in Tok @ $1.07/L - $4.04/gal USD (Tesoro), Palmer at $1.056 - $3.99/gal (Chevron) and Tok again $1.043/L - $3.94/gal (Shell). With exchange, we paid between $1.465-$1.503, beating most BC prices outside of middle BC which was in the high $1.40s.

For comparison though, my former home of Ontario currently has diesel prices around $1.309/L. There is a definite premium on fuel in BC. Regular Gas is in the high $1.50s, where Ontario is around $1.259, give or take a few cents.

Really jealous of you guys cheaper the $3.00 gallon. Spent the majority of my weekend hauling logs from my friends logging job to my house and a few friends places. Cheapest I found on road was $3.99 gal. Closest to my house was $4.19 gallon. Filled up the truck twice from 1/4 tank, and topped off tuesday before I went home with the last load. 76 gallons of fuel burned over 3 days. $314.44 worth of fuel.

Dont know what fire wood comes out per log. Its sold per cord, 10 cord log load is going for around $800.00 sans delivery cost. I dont pay anything for what I bring home, and I'm not aure what he charges the other people that I deliver to with my truck and trailer.

Hey, I did firewood delivery for a while. Is the wood fireplace length or rough log? We delivered and stacked 1/2 and whole cords in northern CA. It was all wood from orchard trimmings or removal. Often prune trees or almond would get pulled out for walnuts or different fruits. There was some peach and apricot wood as well. All of it was cut around 16" roughly.

But that was back late 90's early 2000's. I hate to think what the delivery charge would be now. At least for the people who still have legal fireplaces.

He just does full logs, most of it is sold to local wood processors, and a few people that process the logs themselves. Its not the main part of his logging operation, but every track he cuts there's usualy a bunch of logs that wont make mill grade, but are still fine for heating use. Especially since we seem to go from one species of tree dying off to the next. EAB now some sort of oak rot. Can't win.
