I think Gary is 'pulling your leg'. Gas in BC is around $.55/litre
(Canadian), a bit higher in the north. Do your math and it's pretty cheap
in $US. Since the Arctic is in thaw during the summer, the likelyhood of
hitting snow on BC highways in the summer is virtually nil. There may be
the odd short lived snow-storm way up in the mountains.
Of course, I could tell you about the retired U.S. couple in a Caddy that I
met in Trail, B.C. a few years ago. They had 4 studded snow tires in
anticipation of snow in August.
The Alaska highway is paved. This may come as a bit of a surprise, but
British Columbia and the Yukon are somewhat civilized ... kinda like Alaska.
