Without a second thought on my part, we pushed on from Burns Lake Sunday evening to Venderhoof, then Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake… and all the way home to Abbotsford. The fuel economy for many of these segments was outstanding. Even through the Fraser Canyon, I managed some town to town numbers as low as 4.9 L/100 km. The canyon is a favourite drive of mine, and at night, there is little traffic save for some highway trucks and the occasional traveller.

Having been cut short on the previous tank, I had to fill in Hope, but it was the best tank of the trip by far, taking us 864 kms:

August 18, AM
Burns Lake to Hope
Fuel economy: 5.4 L/100 km / 52 mpg imperial / 44 mpg US
distance travelled: 864 kms
fuel consumed: 46.684 litres
maximum speed: 110 kmh
average speed: 80 kmh
Fuel cost for trip: $63.44

I made extensive use of coasting both in and our of gear, and through the Canyon, used the slow lanes and allowed the car to slow down uphill, rather than burning 50% or more fuel to maintain speed. And despite these hypermiling techniques, the average speed was the highest of the trip - 80 kmh / 50 mph.
