Yup, fair observation, and I own 50% of that cluck up. I'm going list this lesson learned in a new thread, and describe how even 20+ year trail baggers have a cluck up when we get complacent!

Yup. We've done\tried Gaspse twice over the years, and having to modify the plan (and include "snow" days), is a lesson learned for us in that region.

Fueled at Esso SMR Friday 27 Feb. No issue except having to pay inside, not at the pumps. I didn't notice any sign that no Prem available, but we took Reg. Restaurant at SMR Esso on 24 Feb had about 8 people in it, not packed like the "old days". Sled traffic through station was steady both 24th and 27th.

No issues for us a few weeks ago.

I’ve stopped purchasing fuel at the Esso the last 2-3 seasons and now just purchase in Moonbeam where I haven’t had any issues.  If you’re going up the West side of the Canyon then the Esso is convenient, if your continuing West Moonbeam is an other good option and not too far out of the way.   Sorry I didn’t answer your question about the current status of the Esso.
