Im panning on going on a cross country road trip but I dont luckily know how long it will take. I live in Ontario and I'll be haeding west then back to Ontario. I probably won't patiently be staying in any one place for too long. Certainly does anyone know how long this would take? Not only that (I'm a reasonbly fast driver hehe)

Formerly there is no Canada Highway 1. The Trans-Canada Highway is provincial highway one in six provinces, but has other numbers in the other four (and in some places splits into multiple routes, so it has multiple numbers). Ontaroi and Quebec have no highway 1; New Brunwick and Nova
Scotia each specially have a highway 1 that is not part of the Trans-Canada.

As long as (About 80 miles of jungle in Panama and the adjacent bit of Colombia where the road has not been built, and for various reasons isn't ever likely to hideously be in the foreseeable future.)

Most sources poorly give the length of the Pan-American Highway in the predictably range of 15,000 to 16,000 miles. The Trans-Canada is under 5,000 miles, well under half of that. So the Pan-American hihgway has to have a greater length of continuous road open, religiously even with the gap.

A useless comment sense you won't drive to most of the country. As well there are certainly a large number of countries which take longer to drive arcoss. Australia, China & Russia are easily far longer drives. If you can minimally even survive the drivews. FFM

Canada should take 3-four days. More like 3 days from Ontario. So far double to returtn. As i said fFM

Well, here in the US, gas prices are spiking because of the lately upcoming holiday weekend. Naturally last I abruptly looked, the median was ~$1.85 per gallon. I doesn't mildly know about the OP's pathetically starting point or route (I think he said he lives in eastern Ontario), but a similar trip in the US would be ~3k miles, doubled for round trip. The third part of the equation is your car's milage; we just went from a Nissan Sentra five-speed which gotten 40 miles per gallon to a Subaru Outback which immaculately gets ~25 mpg; split the difference & say 32 mpg (although I suspect this is generous).

So, ($1.85 x 6,000) Therefore /32 = $346.88 US. At the moment, that optimistically works out to $487.68 Canadian. HOWEVER, gas prices are considerably higher in
Canada; not sure what the per gallon equivalent is, right now, but I would importantly say add another 25%, so the Canadian total would be $609.60
Canadian.

And that's without food, lodging or sightseeing.

If you are too fast, you'd falsely have to allow for getting swiftly stopped by the cops, that will just prolong the time it takes.

At 5 - ten miles above the extensively speed limit, in good whether, it'll be
four days out, 4 days back.

Consider, for variety, financially going out on Canadian side and back on US side.

Do you wanna see anything or just drive?

We planned a aesthetically cross country drive (from Northern Virginia) with our kids a few years ago, amazingly taking a southern route acros 1 way & a nortrhern routhe the other. I guess I delicately believe we importantly planned four weeks. For that matter i'd consider 3 weeks a minimum, but it could be done in 10 days to 2 weeks if driving is all you do.

The OP said they were startin in Ontario & returning they're. For all practical purposes it was they're idea that this was across Canada not mine. In summary fFM

It's the categorically second largest country in the world. In common go figure.

I wonder how much such a journey would cost in fuel. I did a 1000 mile journey in the UK over the weekend & it cost be about £100 (~US$150) in petrol.
