    Question No than oil fuel gas station international falls

    I am leaving Wednesday for Canada to do some smallie fishing and I am being told to fill up my boat before my trip. Is it true that I can not get pure gas in International Falls, Minnesota? Input would be greatly appreciated.

    Another spell check victim. Can't wait for driverless cars.
    There was a time that I didn't fish but I cannot remember it.

    I think whoever told you that is full of sh!t, unless all FIVE of these stations dropped non-oxy recently:

    Are all five of those 91 octane though? My boat runs best on 87 non ethanol fuel, I have ran on oxygenated gas in my hemi and motorcycles but it was 93 octane and unnecessary but smelled good when it was burned

    Unfortunately, 87 non ethanol is not available in MN. I have searched high and low. We can't let the market decide. We have to force people to buy the crap.

    I usually fill up in Orr on my way up. The gas station right by the light. When I finally get to International Falls I am ready to get across the border and not have to dink around with gas.

    Bring as much as you can(extra jerry cans). Filling up in Canada can be miserable.............

    Yes I know I only brought it up encase the OP did not know. I would fill up in my home town before the trip even though I'd have to pull the extra pounds. Just so I didn't have to deal with it

    There are lots of places to get gas in Ifalls and any last minute items you need before crossing over.
