The stretch to plan around on the drive from Calgary to Vancouver, BC is 144 km of the Trans-Canada Highway between Golden, BC and Revelstoke, BC, where OpenStreetMap shows no gas station within 3.2 km of the road. It begins 262 km from Calgary; a typical car that leaves full fills up once on the way, at Salmon Arm, BC (511 km in).
A truck towing a trailer, at about 407 km a tank, needs three: Golden, BC (262 km in), Monte Creek, BC (593 km in) and Abbotsford, BC (908 km in). There's a second long one: 116 km from Merritt, BC to Hope, BC. Clocks go back an hour 26 km past Golden, BC (287 km in), as you enter Pacific Time. The Trans-Canada Highway carries most of the route. The road is 44% longer than the straight line between Calgary and Vancouver, BC (674 km).

Three stretches go 72 km or more without a station within 3.2 km. A station missing from OpenStreetMap would make a stretch look longer than it is, and a mapped station may have closed, so treat these as a guide.

How this page was made
- Route: from the centre of Calgary to the centre of Vancouver and back, each direction routed on its own, by Geoapify routing (fetched November 12, 2026). Fillerup asks for the route again when you open the trip, so its numbers can differ a little.
- Stations: every usable fuel station in OpenStreetMap within 3.2 km of the route (private, disused and truck-only ones left out), from Fillerup’s station data as of November 11, 2026.
- Stops: Fillerup’s own planner, with the two vehicles above, each way from a full tank. Its picks favour stations in towns over isolated pumps, so a stop can come earlier than the tank strictly needs.
- The Calgary and Vancouver, BC areas: within 66 km of Calgary and 75 km of Vancouver, BC, the distance within which Fillerup’s route selection counts a city as part of the metro (it grows with the metro’s population), leaving out places nearer another metro’s centre or across a border.
- Not covered: fuel prices, opening hours beyond the 24/7 tag, road conditions, closures and detours.
