The question is, do the gas stations in the remote areas of BC have bottles of octane boosters if, for some reason, you didn't think you would need them before leaving civilsation.
driven all the way to Nothern BC, through Alberta, & Saskatchewan. bought 10 bottles of Octane booster and used them in the small towns that didn't have 91...once off the main road you absolutely need to do this.
This reminds me of one of my 1980s road trip adventures I drove from my Fairbanks, AK home on down to college in Oregon. Back then, the 300+ mile Cassiar cutoff portion was unpaved, but still saved 100 miles or so over taking the Alaska Highway through BC. So I took it. Only I wasn't smart enough to carry extra gas. I thought I had it planned out well enough, as I would have 3 gas stations to choose from when I getting low on fuel. So in the middle of nowhere in BC I was getting low on fuel and, just as planned, got to the first gas station. "Out of Unleaded" was the sign posted. So I continued on to station #2. "Out of Gas" was posted there. So onto my last chance before I ran out of fuel. Station #3 was closed and locked up. A sign on the door of the adjacent restaurant said "Gone hunting, back next week". I started to panic a little bit, as there were no other services within at least 40 miles or so. Then I noticed some movement inside the building. I knocked and they answered. They were just about to leave, but were nice enough to open a pump and fill my car's tank with unleaded. Had I been just a few minutes later I would have been stranded out of gas. Oh - and then as my car was getting refueled, it had just started pouring rain, and I noticed I had a flat tire... so had to change in the mud (at least I did have a spare tire with me).
Yeah, been there and done that. I hate those situations. Google told me a gas station existed that had closed during the recession. Turns out my car can go on empty at 35mph for 50 miles. Now I'm to careful and am always stopping to fill my tank. Hmm, 3/4 tank? Better fill up just in case.
I'm Canadian and I absolutely loved your comments when you entered Canada, And I am so glad you got to experience the wonderment of my home province of B.C.
But that wouldn't be as pathetically melodramatic as pretending there's no workaround like a bottle of octane boost, or conceding that they're too moronic to have planned for that possibility. When people talk shit about millennials I used to roll my eyes, but then I watch videos like this and am forced to concede that maybe most millennials are ridiculously soft.
Trust me on this one. I’ve driven from Pennsylvanian to Alaska and back and your cars WILL RUN on 87 or any other octane. Not the best performance but they will run.
I think its not just that the cars "have" to run on the premium stuff. It could also be that both Ben's prefer premium over regular. Im Australian so ill explain from my point of view. I drive a Holden Calais, a luxury car built here in Australia. It uses an Aussie built version of the GM 3.6L V6 codenamed LY7 or nicknamed "Alloytec". These engines are rated at our lowest fuel octane which is ULP91 (87 Octane basically) and is important given the car was built to travel this vast, empty country where petrol stations (gas stations) on outback highways can be up to 150km (90miles) apart and will likely only offer diesel and ULP91 (87). I prefer to put in our mid grade premium petrol which is ULP95 (89-91) that cost about AUD $0.10-.$012c (not sure in USD; google doesn't help much either) more per litre (gallon) than regular ULP91 (87). While its not mandatory, It gives me piece of mind knowing that a better octane is running through my engine and it does make a noticeable difference in both performance and economy.
William Justice omg I just drove to PA from Kenai, AK!! It took me 8 days with a layover in Wisconsin. I thought I was a weirdo but you get to know more people at gas stations along the way making such long road trips. How often do you do it?
Great series, but guys, the cars will run on 87 octane, just keep them out of the boost they both should be more than capable of automatically dealing with less than ideal octane.
Yes but if they cant find 91 they probably couldn't find booster. (pretty sure they just added that for drama) BTW when looking for this episode I found multiple RV channels that did the same trip in far better detail, "less junk more money" being one of the best.
have had to stick shitter fuel in loads of performance cars when traveling in remote locations, never had an issue just baby the car the whole time while its in the tank.
@@shaneking4312 North America uses "AKI" ratings for gas, rest of the world uses "RON". your 99 RON is equivalent to 94AKI, which is the highest grade we get at regular, but select few pumps. 91AKI (95RON) is the usual highest. 87AKI is about 90 RON, which is basically the only gas you get at remote places, and what vast majority of cars run on.
Iam seriously crying... not because im sad that its over.. Its just because I am so incredible happy to see all that and your commentry. Plus furthermore I am going to do a huge roadtrip with my best friend in about a year (all ready and planned). We are from germany and going to be on a 18k mile roadtrip in north america .. so thank you for giving us such a intel on how things can/will went. Best Greetings from Germany
Ein bisschen spät der Kommentar, aber ich wünsche ganz viel Spaß bei dem Roadtrip. Will sowas auch irgendwann mal machen. :) Deine Autofahren-Playlist ist übrigens cool... Habt eine gute Zeit!
when ever i hear about how polite Canadians are is the story about 'plane people' on RUclips!!! worth the watch about People stranded due to grounded flights during the 9/11 attacks. a less common story aboyt 9/11 that i never knew about till a month ago... thank you Canada from America,
The editing and montages were 100% the best thing about this series It made ne feel as if i was there Its the little things that are the most important Loved this

I love the cinematography of your journey. Would love to see the Behind the Scenes of these trips on how you film and edit your shots. Great trip to follow guys, enjoyed it heaps.
Hard to believe I'd find a fix for my gear head/epic road trip video addiction on RUclips of all places. The gold standard Top Gear/The Grand Tour have huge crews, 7 figure budgets and all the time needed. You guys however are producing something special here which absolutely scratches that itch in a beautifully shot and refreshingly honest way. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible journey with us.
I wish we had one where I lived. The best place to get auto parts here is a street in Quezon City with a shit ton of auto parts stores, with the risk of street children pulling your side mirrors off.
I cant believe myself binge watching every single episode of every roadtrip you guys have been to. What a long journey have been since then. Well done guys
„1,67 dollar per liter is expensive“ this makes 1,13€ thats very very cheap, in Germany we nearly pay 1,75€ per liter to fill up our cars that makes 2,58 canadian dollars per liter.
So let me get this straight... The same person who thinks that running your car on 87 fuel for a few tanks will harm the engine, and running a single tyre with 2 or 3mm more tread will harm the drivetrain, also thinks it's a good idea to drive 10,000km across two countries in it??
Some cars require at least 91 octane. If they use less than 91 the engine will ping or knock. (Ex. Mercedes, most sports cars, most turbocharged cars, etc.)
There's an app called "TollGuru" where you can input your car's mpg, average gas price, and start and finish locations (along with stops in between,) and it gives you an estimated total cost for fuel and any tolls. Then just factor in money for food, lodging, attractions, and potential vehicle maintenance/repairs.
Having travelled to many parts of the world, I still firmly believe that the area that encompasses Alaska, B.C., Alberta, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon is the most beautiful part of the world
Man i been subscribed for way too long and as soon as i saw the first video of this series i knew this is the series that is gonna blow this channel up congratulations guys you did it
Two of my favorite things in one trip, cars and travelling. Watching this trip again and i think i will keep watching these 3 episodes again and again because it never gets old. A trip like this is one of my life dream. And job very well done by your cameraman intern. Keep rolling, eat, sleep, drive cars that's what a beautiful like is.
The Coastal provinces are the only provinces worth going to, you can skip alberta, saskatchewan, manitoba and ontario, you wont miss anything. Definitely hit the East coast if you can a.k.a. New foundland, its even better then B.C.
I live next door in Alberta and I got to go to BC a few times. My first time was in the summer of 2012 and since then, I've always loved going on road trips a lot more than taking the plane.
I must say your show has popped up on my RUclips que for awhile and I've mainly avoided it. Because i use to be into imports but now am into trucks and over landing. I finally decided to give it a watch. I was pleasantly surprised at how refreshing these 3 episodes were. You guys had my attention the whole banging job keep up the great work.
This was, probably the best series i have seen on RUclips. The scenery was beautiful and it looked like a blast. I think every car guy NEEDS to do this at some point in there life.
Is it possible to do a cost analysis video and break down the cost of the entire trip? So i can get an idea on how much I need to save up for a trip like this.
@@BuckMasterBradford7 i drive to alaska on a semi 2 times a month honestly it isnt that nice its a shit road constriction everywhere, the closer you get to alaska the crappier the roads are your gonna mess up your car so keep that in mind some areas are so bad you might bottem end your oil pan its not worth it . Canadian fuel is way over priced its over 4 bucks a gallon. If i were you guys drive around the u.s it has way better sceneries then that shit road
Please do another series like this soon! So entertaining to watch and the cinematography was pure quality. Me and my friends dream of a road trip like this, so I can relate. And man those views were jaw-dropping
Thank you for sharing your awesome trip guys! Those scenes, places, forest, mountains and other so spectacular stuffs you've been through are really worth to go to specially in Canada and lower Alaska, their all earth treasures and priceless man! Looking forward for another great trip GUYS!!
Oh right!! It's Saturday already? Good thing I turned on the notification bell. Anyway greetings from Indonesia btw. Love your video. Hopefully I can do the same one day, especially crossing the border experience.
The cinematography is amazing, what drone were you using? And as far as 87oct You could of rocked it. Just not beating on it. Which most time looked like you was taking time and taking in the scenes 👍
i love these road trip series - they are so chill to watch, and being a road tripping subaru owner myself - i learn so much about how to better take care of my subi.
Love the video but come on dudes, unless your car is a full on racecar, running on 87 for a bit isn’t the end of the world. I’m sure you would’ve been fine.
Got my fiance to sit and watch this whole series with me. She said you guys did a great job with this series, she really enjoyed it and see why I watch so much of your content. Now she wants to go on a cross-country trip with my Evo and Subies friends 😂
Now THIS is how you take a road trip and have every car expense (fuel, parts, etc.) and repair written off as business expenses. And I guess having Advanced Auto as a sponsor helps.
I drove from Blachly Oregon to Faribanks Ak down to the Kenai Peninsula and back to Marquette michigan. I did the trip in 2016 with my grandad who was 91 years old. Bucket list trip I will never forget. we did it in a 2016 forester.
Guys, This is the best road trip I found in youtube so far, and can't imagine how hard you worked to get these beautiful 4k videos during the trip. Excellent job Guys !. You just made a fan in Australia. by the way, I will go on the same road trip in 2020.
With the ACD in the Evo it may have serious consequences . Better to be safe than sorry. As for the RON rating, if the cars are mapped for 98, 87 will cause issues. Surprised they don't have switchable maps.
David Webb lol come on dude. 1/8 is nothing. They could have ran on that. But plugging that tire for the first time in his life and then worrying about it lasting 5400 miles was for better content 😂
@Logan Madder, On my VII I have run 225/45/17 on rear on one side and 225/40/17 on the other side and blew out the diff (ACD) man...on my IX there is no way I would use different sized tyres. This is just my experience. Also parts are x5/x6 times as expensive and way more difficult to get where I am from.
Come and do a road trip in China if you guys are interested! We got some different but also extraordinary scenes waiting for you guys! Love it from China!
Awesome video. When I was younger, I ran over a nail or something when my factory tires were practically new. I plugged my tire with what you used and it came with a tube of rubber cement. I used the tire 10s of thousands of miles later down to the wear bars with no issues. The same thing happened a few years later to my summer set when they were a quarter of the way worn, and they are also still good to down to the wear bars. You should be all good.
I just found you guys (Admittedly, I know, I feel like I'm late to the party), and I'm a huge fan. Brb while I binge watch everything now for the rest of my night!! You guys are awesome, keep being awesome, and cheers from Canada!!
Loved this series from Florida to Alaska! As a fellow Canadian, I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 videos! I hope you'll be making another road trip to Canada soon!
I would have kept pushing it. Your cars would have been just fine on 87 and heck you have full sponsorship from Advanced auto if anything went bad. Also the other idea would have been to go back to the Alcan highway and go North from there where you could have found 91 octane. I really hate you gave up so easy, screw it, push those cars and see what they can really do!!!! Sad..
octane booster? Research where you're going before hand? I did the road out the top of Labrador in my WRX in 2008. I also brought an accessport so I could tune it for a lower octane.
Yes. I ran my S1000RR on 87 Octane once in central Nebraska on a road trip last summer. And that's a very high compression engine. Just don't rip on it. I babied it at 55mph to the next major city, over 10 miles away... It sucked.
Because your sir are in Brazil NOT AMERICA. I have had to mix 4 gal e85 in with 87 and fucking 93, my logs will show THAT IT MAKES NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE, you may just get like up to .2 knock but you can get that with low quality 93 !?!?!?!?! Come on you bunch of pussies with no balls drove 5000 miles to turn aroind cause of gas. THIS IS WHATS WRONG WITH THE TUNER COMMUNITY
You guys had a great trip. However, it just seemed very rushed and more focused on the driving to make time, than taking in and experiencing the destinations. I know you guys had a time crunch though.
Really enjoying this series & trip :D BC is absolutely stunning. Them scenes with no hands on the wheel put the fear in me though, at least one hand on man for my nerves sake 😂
maaaaan, dipping into Hyder and calling that visiting Alaska - that's so cheating! If you would've taken the main AlCan Hwy, there would be plenty of gas stations along the road. Also, you went so far and didn't drive through the Icefields Parkway in Alberta?? Sounds like you needed better planning before the trip. Great series nonetheless!
Planning would've made the video series completely different. Them taking the risk to just go out and go for a road trip on modified cars just for the heck of it made this series unique. Not saying you're wrong
So, the whole fuel issue is something I'm familiar with. As a motorcyclist, I've learned a bunch of little things that you can do in a low/no fuel situation. Always jeep a jug of octane booster in your vehicle (I know it isn't the greatest, but it works in a pinch). You guys had the right Idea with keeping jugs of gasoline in your car, but they should have been larger. The most important thing that wasn't done was planning. There are multiple apps that will locate gas pumps with 91 or higher octane fuels, and you could have plotted your course and figured out the distance from pump to pump before you left.
This serie has been the most engaging one I've seen on RUclips lately, it actually had me stop my Netflix schedule for three nights(I kinda watched one "episode" a night). Seriously can't put into words how good this was, hope you do another one! It is just that good :)
@@mrjuliusmars actually I loved this serie not just because of the road trip, but for the "car guys" aspects involved. I checked the beginning of your video though and I'll watch the rest when I have time :)
I'm not a car guy in general (just started working on my own car), but these videos are so lit. The editing, sound, and the amount of effort taken for all your scenic shots are amazing. Good job dudes
Let me get this straight: in 10K+ miles you did less than 10 miles in Alaska? Did you at least visit Salmon Glacier? (past bear viewing area in Hyder, up the hill back into BC at Premier - 20+ miles of gravel) Three of us completed a 6K+ mile, 17 day motorcycle trip from Seattle - Alaska and back earlier this month. About 1K of this was gravel or dirt. We visited Hyder twice and had fuel range issues (at about 225 miles). Filling your bike from a Rotopax similar to your red can. My bike likes 91 octane but used whatever was there. It ran fine. 91 was available North of Meziadin Junction. Hyder area is beautiful but is not really Alaska. You owe it to yourselves and your audience to actually visit Alaska. BTW - Yukon and Northern BC rock also.
I can't fathom how a group of driving / car enthusiasts didn't know that premium gas isn't available en-route their original destination. You need to up your planning by a few notches.
I don't know anyone who runs a car that needs premium that doesn't have a bottle to two of octane booster with them. If I was doing a trip like this, I'd have brought a case or two along. Especially if I had a parts store for a sponsor.
I mean the US fuel game is kinda shit too. Here, in Europe, most places "regular" fuel would be at least 95 octane, and 97,99,100 or even 101 octane for premium. The lowest I've personally seen is 92. So yeah, I don't know how your guy''s cars tolerate it hahaha
You guys could have run on 87, your tuner should have input a low octane tune in your ECUs that reads knock and switches your ignition timing map to a safe advance table. You'd probably have a check engine light on, but as long as you avoided flooring it and racing, you would have been ok. Either way, you guys made it to Alaska!😆
Should have brought some octane booster to add to the regular fuel. Car should run on 87 even if it doesn't run well. All modern ECUs can adjust compression in order to avoid knocking which is the primary short term issue with putting 87 in.
@@michael2275 no, compression ratio is static (different in boosted cars). So to change the compression ratio you have to lower boost. To change the static ratio you have to buy the new infinity car with the weird crankshaft.
It's actually much more simple...both of those cars would be fine with 87 octane as long as they stay out of boost. Which is simple, especially on those rough roads
FYI dont call the Tim Hortons wedges and gravy a poutine lol. That is the absolute worst attempt at making a poutine. Coming from a true Canadian, Tim's just doesn't cut it anymore.

Little bottles of octane booster are your friend. Great trip!!!
i came here to say that, guess they've never had to use them before!
The question is, do the gas stations in the remote areas of BC have bottles of octane boosters if, for some reason, you didn't think you would need them before leaving civilsation.
@@emin86 they went to a shit ton of advanced autos. California has th4 shitiest gas they shouldn't bought a lot there
driven all the way to Nothern BC, through Alberta, & Saskatchewan. bought 10 bottles of Octane booster and used them in the small towns that didn't have 91...once off the main road you absolutely need to do this.
Would they have helped them to go from 87 to 91 octane?

Octane booster from the sponsor
Long as your not in boost using 87 you can cruise no problems..the ecu will also adjust and add more fuel.
what does the device called? I want to be able to adjust my ECU with that device
You can pump 87 into them. Just don’t floor it.

The best place to get auto parts here is a street in Quezon City with a shit ton of auto parts stores, with the risk of street children pulling your side mirrors off.
I cant believe myself binge watching every single episode of every roadtrip you guys have been to. What a long journey have been since then. Well done guys
"It's a weird experience driving to another country"
Whole Europe is laughing right now
Australia is crying right now.
I really did😂 nothing unusual over here
„1,67 dollar per liter is expensive“ this makes 1,13€ thats very very cheap, in Germany we nearly pay 1,75€ per liter to fill up our cars that makes 2,58 canadian dollars per liter.

So let me get this straight...
The same person who thinks that running your car on 87 fuel for a few tanks will harm the engine, and running a single tyre with 2 or 3mm more tread will harm the drivetrain, also thinks it's a good idea to drive 10,000km across two countries in it??
James McKay yup
16000 kilometres actually
right on!
Some cars require at least 91 octane. If they use less than 91 the engine will ping or knock. (Ex. Mercedes, most sports cars, most turbocharged cars, etc.)
Adam Stanton that's just not true though is it.
It would be dope if you guys posted how much in total this trip cost you, such as food, gas, hotel, etc
Lil Stunna ikr
Ryan Pharis more than 2 months pay
There's an app called "TollGuru" where you can input your car's mpg, average gas price, and start and finish locations (along with stops in between,) and it gives you an estimated total cost for fuel and any tolls. Then just factor in money for food, lodging, attractions, and potential vehicle maintenance/repairs.
Probably close to 3 grand
This series was so dope! About to see the civic and Miata series I felt like I was on the trip as well. Make more of these
Having travelled to many parts of the world, I still firmly believe that the area that encompasses Alaska, B.C., Alberta, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon is the most beautiful part of the world
After roadtrip car detail video? Please guys!
Máté Balogh yes！
Man i been subscribed for way too long and as soon as i saw the first video of this series i knew this is the series that is gonna blow this channel up congratulations guys you did it
Two of my favorite things in one trip, cars and travelling. Watching this trip again and i think i will keep watching these 3 episodes again and again because it never gets old. A trip like this is one of my life dream. And job very well done by your cameraman intern. Keep rolling, eat, sleep, drive cars that's what a beautiful like is.
New bucket list item added. Drive in B.C. Canada
It's phenomenal, I try to go at least once a year
The Coastal provinces are the only provinces worth going to, you can skip alberta, saskatchewan, manitoba and ontario, you wont miss anything. Definitely hit the East coast if you can a.k.a. New foundland, its even better then B.C.
Hehe, I live in BC
I live next door in Alberta and I got to go to BC a few times. My first time was in the summer of 2012 and since then, I've always loved going on road trips a lot more than taking the plane.
Hey!! I actually live in BC, can you suggest to me all the roads you’ve taken to get the best experience in BC?
There is place in Minnesota that you have to drive through Canada to get to. School kids take a bus through Canada each morning to go to school
froglick28 some idiot made the boarder over a lake so the lake separated it from the rest of Minnesota
froglick28 you have to go through Manitoba
Buy octane booster & buy cheaper fuel if necessary.
I must say your show has popped up on my RUclips que for awhile and I've mainly avoided it. Because i use to be into imports but now am into trucks and over landing. I finally decided to give it a watch. I was pleasantly surprised at how refreshing these 3 episodes were. You guys had my attention the whole banging job keep up the great work.
This was, probably the best series i have seen on RUclips. The scenery was beautiful and it looked like a blast. I think every car guy NEEDS to do this at some point in there life.
I was so sad that this was the last episode 😭
I hope I can go on an awesome journey like this someday.
Is it possible to do a cost analysis video and break down the cost of the entire trip? So i can get an idea on how much I need to save up for a trip like this.
^
1 million
It largely depends on your fuel mileage.
YES! I already planned it with a friend, but what would be a decently cost efficient price?
@@BuckMasterBradford7 i drive to alaska on a semi 2 times a month honestly it isnt that nice its a shit road constriction everywhere, the closer you get to alaska the crappier the roads are your gonna mess up your car so keep that in mind some areas are so bad you might bottem end your oil pan its not worth it . Canadian fuel is way over priced its over 4 bucks a gallon. If i were you guys drive around the u.s it has way better sceneries then that shit road
So what’s the purpose of a full spare tire if you are concerned about drivetrain damage? In that case you should of gotten a used worn tires 🤦🏻♂️
I'm also not sure that, that is correct. You shouldn't cause drivetrain issues unless one of your tires is like inches different than the other.
@@Kmaitland89 you’d be surprised to learn Subaru doesn’t suggest more than a few mm difference. Unsure about Mitsubishi though.
17:45
Im pretty sure that is one of macbooks wallpapers.
Ya it does look a lot like el capitan
Please do another series like this soon!
So entertaining to watch and the cinematography was pure quality.
Me and my friends dream of a road trip like this, so I can relate.
And man those views were jaw-dropping
Good stuff guys! Your editing was spot on, y'all kept that pacing tight.
Keep up the great work!
sure was nice,.the scenery alone was amazing !
One of the best and most real video series we have ever seen. Love it guys.
Thank you for sharing your awesome trip guys!
Those scenes, places, forest, mountains and other so spectacular stuffs you've been through are really worth to go to specially in Canada and lower Alaska, their all earth treasures and priceless man!
Looking forward for another great trip GUYS!!
Oh right!! It's Saturday already? Good thing I turned on the notification bell. Anyway greetings from Indonesia btw. Love your video. Hopefully I can do the same one day, especially crossing the border experience.
Randha Yoga same here
malaysian border eh?
What a trip!
This series can easily compete with big shows like the grand tour imho.
Love your dedication and work - keep it up!
Having lived and driven a semi in Alaska for 4 years I'd have to say NOT!
The cinematography is amazing, what drone were you using? And as far as 87oct You could of rocked it. Just not beating on it. Which most time looked like you was taking time and taking in the scenes 👍
i love these road trip series - they are so chill to watch, and being a road tripping subaru owner myself - i learn so much about how to better take care of my subi.
Love the video but come on dudes, unless your car is a full on racecar, running on 87 for a bit isn’t the end of the world. I’m sure you would’ve been fine.
right!
Yup. Just stay off of WOT. They are in cooler weather too. Unlikely to ping.
ChillCosmos that's why we dont have 93 here for the most part, we just dont need it.
Don't know why they running 93 in stock cars. I never get tunner cars.
@Origins Garage or just a couple bottles of octane booster
Got my fiance to sit and watch this whole series with me. She said you guys did a great job with this series, she really enjoyed it and see why I watch so much of your content. Now she wants to go on a cross-country trip with my Evo and Subies friends 😂
Now THIS is how you take a road trip and have every car expense (fuel, parts, etc.) and repair written off as business expenses. And I guess having Advanced Auto as a sponsor helps.
I drove from Blachly Oregon to Faribanks Ak down to the Kenai Peninsula and back to Marquette michigan. I did the trip in 2016 with my grandad who was 91 years old. Bucket list trip I will never forget. we did it in a 2016 forester.
YAY Saturdays are for GEARS and GASOLINE!!!!
Thanks for taking us along! But next time, plan ahead!
You guys need to do a trip through Germany > France > Switzerland > Italy! you'll love it
Guys, This is the best road trip I found in youtube so far, and can't imagine how hard you worked to get these beautiful 4k videos during the trip. Excellent job Guys !. You just made a fan in Australia. by the way, I will go on the same road trip in 2020.
The 1/8 inch difference in tire height will do absolutely no damage and the car will be fine on 87. Love you guys but stop being a bunch of Marys.
Yeah, just don't run diff size tires on awd :-)
Robert Hull same thoughts here. Really didn’t want to go to anchorage like you said you would? Fail in my book.
With the ACD in the Evo it may have serious consequences . Better to be safe than sorry. As for the RON rating, if the cars are mapped for 98, 87 will cause issues. Surprised they don't have switchable maps.
David Webb lol come on dude. 1/8 is nothing. They could have ran on that. But plugging that tire for the first time in his life and then worrying about it lasting 5400 miles was for better content 😂
@Logan Madder, On my VII I have run 225/45/17 on rear on one side and 225/40/17 on the other side and blew out the diff (ACD) man...on my IX there is no way I would use different sized tyres. This is just my experience. Also parts are x5/x6 times as expensive and way more difficult to get where I am from.
Come and do a road trip in China if you guys are interested! We got some different but also extraordinary scenes waiting for you guys! Love it from China!
@poker108 dude he is a fan why are you like this.
Dear Ziggy,
We have caught you using RUclips.
Love,
Chinese Government
It's okay man, I don't really pay attention to these children :)
Oh yeah? I also use Pornhub that is blocked by u guys, come and get me pls.
By us? China is blocking these websites, not us
Great trip guys! Thanks for taking us along for the ride filled with gorgeous scenery
Awesome video. When I was younger, I ran over a nail or something when my factory tires were practically new. I plugged my tire with what you used and it came with a tube of rubber cement. I used the tire 10s of thousands of miles later down to the wear bars with no issues. The same thing happened a few years later to my summer set when they were a quarter of the way worn, and they are also still good to down to the wear bars. You should be all good.
I just found you guys (Admittedly, I know, I feel like I'm late to the party), and I'm a huge fan. Brb while I binge watch everything now for the rest of my night!! You guys are awesome, keep being awesome, and cheers from Canada!!
get a worn-out beater like a Citation or a Cavalier, and see how far into Alaska you can make it!
That's been done by a few people
BandomBeviews would like to know by who, if possible
Citations went forever. Knew someone who put 350k+ on one.
it's still 2018. almost all of those things are rusted to the ground.
True. It was a very long time ago. I do still see one in great condition where I live.
I watched all 3 series of this Alaska trip without fast-forwarding one bit - great video, guys!!
Loved this series from Florida to Alaska! As a fellow Canadian, I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 videos! I hope you'll be making another road trip to Canada soon!
I would have kept pushing it. Your cars would have been just fine on 87 and heck you have full sponsorship from Advanced auto if anything went bad. Also the other idea would have been to go back to the Alcan highway and go North from there where you could have found 91 octane. I really hate you gave up so easy, screw it, push those cars and see what they can really do!!!! Sad..
You surely never owned any turbo cars, aren't you? Trust me, the engine will knocking and for about a few KM it won't start anymore.
I have and it's fine, as long as your car isn't a garbage brand or tuned by a deadbeat
They should bring Fuel Additives.
Doh....
Yup. Octane booster for instance, it does work.
octane booster? Research where you're going before hand? I did the road out the top of Labrador in my WRX in 2008. I also brought an accessport so I could tune it for a lower octane.
"these cars will really not operate without 91 octane"
You should see what I have to use here in Brazil to power my subbie...
They could have took some octane boosters on the trip....
Could they not have flashed a lower octane tune? Or just stayed out of high boost?
Yes. I ran my S1000RR on 87 Octane once in central Nebraska on a road trip last summer. And that's a very high compression engine. Just don't rip on it. I babied it at 55mph to the next major city, over 10 miles away... It sucked.
They cried about like it was the end of the world when all they had to do was put some octane boost in with the gas.
Because your sir are in Brazil NOT AMERICA. I have had to mix 4 gal e85 in with 87 and fucking 93, my logs will show THAT IT MAKES NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE, you may just get like up to .2 knock but you can get that with low quality 93 !?!?!?!?! Come on you bunch of pussies with no balls drove 5000 miles to turn aroind cause of gas. THIS IS WHATS WRONG WITH THE TUNER COMMUNITY
Why can't either of them pronounce Minneapolis? "minneanapolis"
Ehh shitty name gets pronounced like shit
Doesn't matter anymore. Minneapolis is just ash now.
Incredibly beautiful cars and insane filmmaking quality. Watch your video is like living in a dream!!
This series makes me wanna roadtrip so fucking bad. If only I had a car 😫
@Clams McGee lmaoo
@Clams McGee What's wrong with it?
No worry u will get one!
and money,a lot
The forester turbo is the best car no matter what cars you're in to.
You like american muscle? Forester turbo
Italian supercars? Nope, Forester turbo
You guys had a great trip. However, it just seemed very rushed and more focused on the driving to make time, than taking in and experiencing the destinations. I know you guys had a time crunch though.
Really enjoying this series & trip :D BC is absolutely stunning. Them scenes with no hands on the wheel put the fear in me though, at least one hand on man for my nerves sake 😂
Man, this videos is the only way to travel in quarantine
maaaaan, dipping into Hyder and calling that visiting Alaska - that's so cheating! If you would've taken the main AlCan Hwy, there would be plenty of gas stations along the road. Also, you went so far and didn't drive through the Icefields Parkway in Alberta?? Sounds like you needed better planning before the trip. Great series nonetheless!
Planning would've made the video series completely different. Them taking the risk to just go out and go for a road trip on modified cars just for the heck of it made this series unique. Not saying you're wrong
Been waiting all week for this 🙌
So, the whole fuel issue is something I'm familiar with. As a motorcyclist, I've learned a bunch of little things that you can do in a low/no fuel situation. Always jeep a jug of octane booster in your vehicle (I know it isn't the greatest, but it works in a pinch). You guys had the right Idea with keeping jugs of gasoline in your car, but they should have been larger. The most important thing that wasn't done was planning. There are multiple apps that will locate gas pumps with 91 or higher octane fuels, and you could have plotted your course and figured out the distance from pump to pump before you left.
This serie has been the most engaging one I've seen on RUclips lately, it actually had me stop my Netflix schedule for three nights(I kinda watched one "episode" a night). Seriously can't put into words how good this was, hope you do another one! It is just that good :)
@@mrjuliusmars actually I loved this serie not just because of the road trip, but for the "car guys" aspects involved. I checked the beginning of your video though and I'll watch the rest when I have time :)
Tim hortons poutine is not poutine.
Steve Richer it’s fucking nasty
Tim Hortons food is not food. End
You should have brought octane booster. Prepare much?
Ted R. They didn’t prepare at all n
you kept pronouncing it "Minneanapolis." It's Minneapolis
I'm not a car guy in general (just started working on my own car), but these videos are so lit. The editing, sound, and the amount of effort taken for all your scenic shots are amazing. Good job dudes
Let me get this straight: in 10K+ miles you did less than 10 miles in Alaska? Did you at least visit Salmon Glacier? (past bear viewing area in Hyder, up the hill back into BC at Premier - 20+ miles of gravel)
Three of us completed a 6K+ mile, 17 day motorcycle trip from Seattle - Alaska and back earlier this month. About 1K of this was gravel or dirt. We visited Hyder twice and had fuel range issues (at about 225 miles). Filling your bike from a Rotopax similar to your red can. My bike likes 91 octane but used whatever was there. It ran fine. 91 was available North of Meziadin Junction.
Hyder area is beautiful but is not really Alaska. You owe it to yourselves and your audience to actually visit Alaska. BTW - Yukon and Northern BC rock also.
Doing this with a bike is another level.
Right, it's an entire "click bait" video series!
they didnt even get to the main part of alaska. just the pan handle
@@Base-q1g to save time
@@Modzilla32 there is a dude cycled from the artic ocean Inuit to Argintina on youtube.
I can't fathom how a group of driving / car enthusiasts didn't know that premium gas isn't available en-route their original destination. You need to up your planning by a few notches.
I don't know anyone who runs a car that needs premium that doesn't have a bottle to two of octane booster with them. If I was doing a trip like this, I'd have brought a case or two along. Especially if I had a parts store for a sponsor.
Canada just needs to up its fuel Game
I mean the US fuel game is kinda shit too. Here, in Europe, most places "regular" fuel would be at least 95 octane, and 97,99,100 or even 101 octane for premium. The lowest I've personally seen is 92. So yeah, I don't know how your guy''s cars tolerate it hahaha
@@icy_swoosh Are you dumb? We use OCTANE but in Europe you use RON, 95 RON is 91 octane!
Y'all use a different scale. Same gas we get here but different numbers
i went in that Canadian road from Vancouver to whistler and it was beautiful
6000 miles
A bunch of gas station stops
27 states in three weeks
A few breakdowns
One. Epic. Adventure.
Awesome drive to Alaska guys!
Never thought about bringing along some octane boosters?
dude, they didn't even change the spark plugs to begin with lol
You guys could have run on 87, your tuner should have input a low octane tune in your ECUs that reads knock and switches your ignition timing map to a safe advance table. You'd probably have a check engine light on, but as long as you avoided flooring it and racing, you would have been ok. Either way, you guys made it to Alaska!😆
But the bears... have to launch to avoid the bears.
em1sleeper I always keep a can or two of octane booster
I can't tell you how much I loved this series guys!! Great JOB!!!
Tim Horton’s is absolutely HUGE in Canada. And strangely that one you visited looks exactly like ones here in New York. Inconceivable!
Should have brought some octane booster to add to the regular fuel. Car should run on 87 even if it doesn't run well. All modern ECUs can adjust compression in order to avoid knocking which is the primary short term issue with putting 87 in.
They can't adjust compression but timing.
Sure, but they do it to adjust the compression ratio at time of ignition.
@@michael2275 no, compression ratio is static (different in boosted cars). So to change the compression ratio you have to lower boost. To change the static ratio you have to buy the new infinity car with the weird crankshaft.
It's actually much more simple...both of those cars would be fine with 87 octane as long as they stay out of boost. Which is simple, especially on those rough roads
FYI dont call the Tim Hortons wedges and gravy a poutine lol. That is the absolute worst attempt at making a poutine. Coming from a true Canadian, Tim's just doesn't cut it anymore.
This video series has seriously inspired me. Thank you for waking up that inner car adventure inside me again.
One of the best channels I have watched on RUclips.
