A road trip junkie from Richmond has won free gas for five years.

Hon Chan won the $15,000 prize after he posed alongside his car with the hood up and entered the photo into the Shell V-Power Fuel My Passion contest.

The way I see it, an engine and gasoline are a perfect partnership, Chan said in a press release.

The photo earned Chan the most votes in the online contest and the grand prize of Shell V-Power premium fuel for five years.

Friends and family, who describe Chan as a total road trip junkie, told how three years ago, Chan and his family drove for 23 days from western B.C. to the eastern most point in Nova Scotia and then all the way to the southern tip of Miami.

And where will this road trip enthusiast go with his winnings?

Chan plans to fulfill his dream of completing the tour of North America by travelling to the northern tip of Alaska with his family.
