Don't know if gas is anything like here in Toronto 1.34 /litre
but fill up across the border, even with the exchange diff, still works out cheaper to tank up in the US
Seattle is what? 140 miles or 225km from Vancouver
Honda civic, just calculate how much you get for a tank of gas, I would think you probably could get there and back on less than a tank
How many km's do you get on a tank? How much does it cost to fill up?
Go from there

WOW, now that's an odd question. How would anyone be able to tell you what mileage your car gets? Is it a 1976 Civic or 2006? Anyways, fill up when you get over the border. It will be your cheapest way. Enjoy Safeco field....I went last year and loved it. Great stadium!!

lol it is an odd question, I am asking for a ballpark, it is a 2005 Honda Civic I have to look up gas mileage, but I would assume someone has a ballpark guess.

2005 Honda Civic
Miles on a Tank
345 miles
Tank Size
13.2 gal = 50 litres x $$/litre = cost of tank of gas

Vancouver-Seattle = 140 miles
Vancouver-Seattle-Vancouver = 280

include running around, etc..1 tank

With gas being 30% cheaper in the US it's no brainer. Make sure you cross the border with an empty tank. Dont get gas till your as far south as Mount Vernon. The stations close to the border jack up their prices to take advantage of Canadian's. Gas is about $4.25 - $4.50 in WA right now. If your going down for a pair of games make sure you are in the US for 48 hours. You will be able to bring back dutie free items that way. Enjoy the game, it's a great park.
