While I'm composing the pictures for the next blog, I thought I'd share some math with you. For the Great Cross-Canada run we traveled about 2,900 miles from Meaford, Ontario to Vancouver, BC. On that run, the gas averaged $4.18 per US gallon and the RV got an average of 8.75 miles per gallon. Crunching that, it works out to about $0.48 per mile or $1,392 for gas for the run across the north. Our nightly rent worked out to about $28 per night, times the 35 days or so that we paid rental or about $980 for the trip, making an average of $68 a day for the fun and experience; excluding all the other living and playing costs ... let's see # of wine bottles littered along the way ... nah.
