Need help : Gas

[The EquAzn]

I want to drive to Vancouver over night on Friday night.

Is there any 24 hr gas stations?
which cities?

Thanks.

Revelstoke has a 24h Chevron that ownz you a buck 9 for premium.

That should tide you over till close to Vancouver. Then once you get to Hope or so there are 24h stations everywhere.

Just make sure you fill up before Rogers Pass, no staions for a while

dont forget that large town before the cocahala (sp) . They have a few 24hr stations there :thumbsup:

and yes ben, that 1.09 for 94 hurts the wallet (atleast it was 1.09 for 94 when i was there) :thumbsdow

Large town before cochoalahla

Kamloops right?.... awesome

So I'll fill at revelstoke and kamloops, that should be enough to be safe for the night..

THANKS guys!

Instead of going to Kamloops, you can go down through Vernon and then Kelowna, and not too long after the bridge joining Kelowna and Westbank you will get onto the Coquihalla. If you choose this route, when your driving through Kelowna there will be at least two 24 hour gas stations on your left hand side (a Petro Canada and a Chevron).

yet another reason to buy a TDI..no need to fill up :D...perfect for a late night run to vancouver when you have nothing to do ;) :D

You get 900 kms per tank?!
Does that thing run partly on electricity?

No, its a diesel, and it gets 900 on a tank...IN THE CITY. :tongue:

We regularly get between 1000 and 1200 on a tank highway driving.

Thats excellent. What years get that kind of gas mileage, and how much are they? Do you have any pics?

We answered the original question, so I feel no remorse for hijacking this thread :D

There are 24h gas stations all along Highway 1. I think that it is actually a law that they have to be open. They will rape you at the top of the Roger's pass though.

It's not a hybrid where it looks like some sort of retarded anorexic Jetsons mobile like the hondas and stuff, its a golf or jetta body with a diesel motor instead of gas.

[The EquAzn]

no scorn from me for the hijack =) thanks guys!

We are taking my buddie's echo hatchback, I'll let you guys know the mileage when I get back

In the city he got about 600ish, so 650ish on highway?
For a tiny tank, that ain't bad

I'd be questioning whether it has enough power to MAKE it over the pass, let alone it's gas milage hahaha ;) :tongue:

[The EquAzn]

heheeh, yeah... we are travelling light

and also one reason why were are travelling at night, so we don't slow the public on hills =-)

[benyl]

You should be able to make it to Hope in an Echo if you don't go 140 km/h

holy crap.. 1.09 can. per liter? thats as expensive as some european countries

max

[QuasarCav]

Just keep it topped up, there are signs out there so you wont get screwed.

Fill up before the passes and keep an eye out for any stations.

Have fun man, wish I was there too.

[fast95pony]

Buy/borrow a 5 gallon gas can and fill it before leaving Calgary :dunno:

Not even close.

I think England is close to 1.80 Pounds per litre of gas. That is almost 4 dollars!!!!!

[The EquAzn]

Thanks again guys... counting down the hours till I leave =)

haven't you seen the tdi commercials, geez, calgary to vancouver on one tank of gas, you can also go from denver to phoenix on one tank of gas.. tdi's are crazy

Don't speed around Revelstoke. ALWAYS cops waiting, even at 1am.

Edit: But of course he's already left.
