Ethanol-free gasoline
If you want to fill up your tank with ethanol-free gas for winter storage, the nearest available supply is
the Ferndale Country Store, exit 262 off I-5, on La Bounty Dr., about 13 miles south of Blaine.
There appears to be no problem returning across the border with large jerry cans of gas.
Note: you may get up to 1/3 gal. of residual ethanol gas from a pump and hose when selecting ethanol-free gas
if the same hose is used for multiple grades, although the station noted is separate.
A new source recently found is the Union 76 station at Hwy 543 and Boblett St. in Blaine, just south of the truck crossing - see photo below (note price will vary)
