Sorry guys haven't spent too much time on RS, been studying....
Gas prices for today:
$0.90 Regular
$0.92 89 Oct
$0.94 92 Oct
Cheapest I saw for regular was $0.88/litre at one of the other stations.
After putting some though into it, I don't think I'll be able to pick stuff up for you guys! Sorry!!! Quote:

genuis. why didn't I think of that. | If you're referring to me, I work in Delta, about 15 minutes away from Point Roberts. so why not?
Premium gas is a bitch, I save a good $15-20 on a full tank
65L at ~$1.25/L in Canada = ~$80.00
65L at ~$0.94/L in the States = ~$60.00

Prices for today:
same as above post... but one thing:
Regular border lines are FREAKING PACKED. If it's like this at point bob's, I can't imaging it at peach arch, or the other crossings.

I went down to Blaine last Friday after work. Took a good 30 mins in the NEXUS lane at the truck crossing which is really unusual for NEXUS.
I filled up @ $3.49/gallon for premium in Bellingham. (at the Shell across from Bellis Fair) That works out to about $0.94CDN which seems to be the same as Pt Roberts.

I go to point Roberts pretty often and i go only on Monday to Friday. The one time i went on Saturday it took me 30 minutes and by the time i got to tsb they were almost closed.

and does the Chevron there have 94 octane? or is it only Texaco? I'd rather go with Chevron since I always use it, but Texaco wouldn't hurt I guess.. |
Wow, that's expensive..
Why don't you use the letter carrier. It is wayy cheaper.
I picked up rims and tires and it was less than $15 IIRC

NO 94, 92 is max
87, 89, 92 are the only options you get, well diesel too if you count that.
They do use ethanol... in all their grades

WA state has a mandate that 2.5% of gas sales must be "bio-diesels". All the pumps I've seen in the border areas are all "up to" 10% ethanol. It looks like it's been this way since 2006.
Here's a list of ethanol free gas stations in WA: http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=WA
Looks like the closest to the border is the Conoco in Burlington.

Have anyone ever have trouble at the border before, just because you told them you went down for gas... and you're not bringing back any "goods"?
Does the officer start staring at you funny....and suspect you're not declaring stuff?

Went to Point Roberts today to get gas. Got into PR just fine, but coming back they decided to search my car. The boarder guard was quite rude. In the end they didn't tax me just searched my car for 10mins. $30 for 30Ls of 92
