Fuel prices along the Alaska Hwy?

we were in the Anchorage area, Homer, Seward, Kenai Peninsula areas in late
July. The price for unleaded gas was in the 2.05 range...US dollars

Can anyone give me an idea of current prices for both diesel and gas
at various places along the highway? Or at least one fuel or the
other at some of the following places (maybe someone will fill in for
the other fuel or other places?) Dawson Creek, Ft. Nelson,
Whitehorse,Tok & Fairbanks. & please state currency.

Thanks.

Still was for the last few weeks, August 9 to August 20.

I bought gas in Anchorage in mid July 2 different times 2 weeks apart and paid
$1.91 both times. Like I said, the prices vary from station to station there
just like any place else. I had to buy at one station in Alaska that was $2.53
a gallon & had to buy at one station in California that was $2.61 a gallon.
In both cases, I only bought enough to get me to the next larger market - thus
lower prices.

Can't speak for Alaska, but I did the trip as far north as Whitehorse
in summer 2002, and one of the things which surprised me was that fuel
prices weren't dramatically higher in the remote areas relative to the
large population centres (unlike what happens in both California and
Australia).

For what it's worth, in 2002 fuel prices on the Alaska Highway (north
of Fort St. John), as well as the Cassiar Highway, were mostly about
20% higher than in Vancouver (mid 80s cents Canadian/litre, compared
with about 70c). The absolute values will have changed but I'd expect
the 20% difference would still hold. Whitehorse was no different to
out on the highway.
