wandb Posted August 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Trying to compute approximate costs for renting car (including taxes, insurance, refilling gas tank, etc.) vs. taking a private tour in Halifax going to Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove. Could someone tell me approximately what it would cost for a tank of gas on a six passenger van type vehicle? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann ns Posted August 14, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Today gas is $1.36 a litre. If your van holds 75 litres then you would pay $102. You will not need anything like a full tank to go to Peggy's Cove and back. http://www.halifaxgasprices.com/ https://maps.google.ca/maps?saddr=Canadian+Museum+of+Immigration+at+Pier+21,&daddr=Peggys+Cove,+NS+to:Chester,+NS+to:Mahone+Bay,+NS+to:Lunenburg,+NS+to:44.5238596,-64.0436961+to:Canadian+Museum+of+Immigration+at+Pier+21,+1055+Marginal+Rd,+Halifax,+NS&hl=en&sll=44.543888,-63.993039&sspn=0.496232,1.352692&geocode=FYogqQIdkRI2_CEgmzhDlXHjFyndrHIwSiJaSzEgmzhDlXHjFw%3BFernpgIdRLIw_CnlsFTY6QJaSzFmhYBMEgaDaw%3BFaSopwId4Mor_CljW-fuz-ZZSzF4stzvBqZ0QQ%3BFcI9pgIdPJsp_Cn7Y_qvyl9XSzGf5BZFz_TFyg%3BFa0jpQIdjZIq_ClD0a4gwVtXSzHrTTCtT3o5Vg%3BFVNhpwIdUMUu_CnJVlZXA_tZSzGqP8RCSBSaKQ%3BFYogqQIdkRI2_CEgmzhDlXHjFyndrHIwSiJaSzEgmzhDlXHjFw&oq=Mahone+NS&t=m&mra=ls&via=5&z=10 This route is about $284 km or 176 miles.

dickinson Posted August 16, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2013 We too are thinking about car rental but just to drive to Peggy's Cove and go to Ryer's Lobster. If we rented a medium size sedan (rental site says Toyota Corolla or similar), what do you think the gas would cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
