If you monitor the custom's wait times, not too hard. They have pretty tight rules about what you can purchase on a day trip from Canada (total value) but I noticed that gasoline wasn't on the list. I guess if you had a big tank, you could perhaps save $20 by popping across to Blaine, right on the US side of the border. Took me about 45 minutes to get through the US side, and I would endure a similar wait going back. Trouble is, if they saw you every week (and they would know because they enter your license plate into their computer, plus scan your passport), you might get searched and therefore invest another 30-60 minutes. Plus sometimes the wait at the US side is many hours, but I'm sure you could find the ever-moving sweet spot. What they need is a gas station in the US, but the pump head is on the Canadian side. The TallyBan Corp. could build it.
