After you leave Missoula Montana going South on 93, turn right at Lolo. You'll be on the 12. Stop at the big gas station that has a casino, it's the first one, ya can't miss it.
They have high octane hot rod gas...buy it. Then ride the 12 for one of the sweetest rides you'll ever do.
You asked.

I go across the border to Blaine or Sumas, Wa EVERY CHANCE I GET !
Usually save $20-25 a tank over a fill-up in Vancouver.
No point in me paying gas tax to subsidize bus service that I never use.
Bloody gov't thieves get enough of my money as it is.


Premium near home = $6.85 gal,
1 hour away in Wa. = $4.65 gal

Only Mobil gas stations for me.
My mechanic recommended it, saying that every engine he's taken apart that ran only Mobil was cleaner than others that didn't.

Chevron or Shell for me. I used to buy Valero which is always a bit cheaper, but then figured out that I get better mileage out of the others.

as long as it doen't have ethonal in it, and is premium, then the choice is yours. Get it anywhere it's all the same for all intents and purposes.
