You'll be fine.

What is the estimated time for full charging with 110v, 220v and quick-charge charge stations?
A: Starting from a depleted battery, about 20 hours at 110-120V (depending on amperage), approximately 7 hours at 208-240V (depending on amperage) and about 30 minutes at 480V (quick-charging station).

The ECU will need some time to re-learn the grade of fuel you are using and slowly compensate and make adjustments accordingly (adaptive tuning.)

Get your money exchanged here too. Nobody in Oregon takes Canadian hell even the banks wont take it and your debit card wont work in most establishments.

Again, just my own experience.

US $)
Canadian $ != reserve currency, thus ppl who are surprised by it not being taken in a foreign country should really step back and realize where they are
and of course banks will exchange Cdn $, assuming they do currency exchange (not all banks do)

Going 2mph over the limit and there's a radar over the next hill, you'll be dinged.
Get the retune for lower grade and enjoy your roadtrip.

You're better off renting a vehicle anyways especially if you're going with friends. Split the expenses and rack up all the mileage/rock chip on the rental and just fill up 85 octane.
