Flin Flon

Anybody from Flin Flon in here? I'll be heading there for the first week of February, just wondering where there is a good place to fill my diesel up? The people I'll be staying with aren't diesel people so they won't know.

My sister-in-law worked up there and she said there were a few good gas stations up there. Just remember to add some fuel conditioner to help keep things from gelling up because, it can get terrible cold up there this time of year.

I haven't really driven the northern sask roads before, been down the #1 quite a few times though and well, Ontario sucks mainly because of the 90 km/h limit and being so long, Quebec sucks because the roads are probably the worst in the country there, just absolutely terrible. Should I be expecting some craters to drive around or just regular frost heave and holes?

In most cases especially on the main routes there are no problems with frost heaves, craters or holes here.
I like to complain alot, the highways here aren`t bad.
