Please note the campaign to write to your MP about the federal mandate on the use of ethanol in all gasoline.
Also, 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.
Terry Heselton recommends the Western Air and Auto Museum in Hood River Oregon, just east of Portland.
