The numbers for our 51-day South Island kayaking trip trip for posterity:
3670km total averaging 9.4L diesel / 100km = $837 = $16/day (incl RUCs).
Accommodation = $546 = $11/day.
LPG = 137g/day = $0.55/day.
Food = $2600 = $51/day.
Other = $515 = $11/day.
Total = $89/day.
This time we cooked a lot more of our own meals which saved us around $50 a day compared to the last trip (https://mastodon.nz/@peterson/113773221693171619). And was probably healthier.
