I don't remember exactly what diesel cost but it was higher than regular gas. Average was about 50 cents more per gallon.  Lots of apps can tell you ahead of time where the cheaper fuel is.  I tried to keep a half tank at all times.  Partly because some pumps shut off at $100.00 and I don't want to repeat the process.  Half of a tank for me is 40 gallons.  So don't pass up an opportunity to keep it half full.

Mel,

We drove to Alaska from Southern California this past May.  We never made a reservation ahead of time and always found a place to stay.  Some places were bare essentials but they worked.  Best advice I can give is don't drive fast.  Don't follow to close, lots of chipped windshields happen up there.  The road surface is wavy and our motorhome rocked sideways a lot.  The roads are good for the most part and there is always construction that will have you waiting some.  There is good control of drivers through the construction zones with pilot cars escorting traffic both ways.  Don't miss the Alcan highway museum in Dawson Creek.  Gas is more expensive in BC and the Yukon.  It is good to have a dash cam if you can set one up.

Good luck,

Joe
