Does anyone have a good map or list of gas station in the western up so when I leave friday I can make sure to plan a route as to not run out of fuel.
Considering my sled has a turbo I'll get a max range of about 100 miles...If I'm easy on it.
We are staying in Bessemer and I plan on header east most of the time into the belt so be in the gogebic and ontonagon area.
One day I wan to ride in the Porcupine's. Does Silver City have fuel?
 
We used the GasBuddy application. Not only did it show the fuel stations, but many people reported pricing! It was accurate all the way out to Copper Harbor and every single fuel pump in between that took cash for gas.

Good luck!
 
That's a pretty good little app. Thanks for that idea. Now if I just knew if there was gas in white pine or silver city.
 
As far as I know Silver City hasn't had gas for a few years.

Bergland has fuel.
 
There is a store-resturant-bowling alley-gas station in white pines about 6 miles from lake superior. they didnt have premium when i was there 2 weeks ago
 
Just got back from 3 day ride in west up. No gas in silver city. White pine only has regular gas no premium. There is a good western map at all gas stations and bars that shows all gas stations. We were able to get gas somewere every 70 miles or so. Make sure you stop by lake gogebic and fill up before going to silver city. Do not take trail 11N north out of bessemer. It has never been groomed this year and there are trees down across it. All other trails were really good
 
Riding there for yrs with the 7 gal nytro tank. Ul be fine

Good question taken two ways. It's one thing to know if they "sell" gas, it's another thing to know if they "have" gas to sell. We have seen some of the remote locations run out. I'm not sure how rare that is though.
 
Polaris app is a good one for gas + price. Also lists dealers (polaris), plus has the gps trail system. Nice free app. As far as bergland, gas in town is open + hoop n hollar has gas on nw coener of the lake. I have rode the western u.p. + kewanee for 30 years, and never had a fuel problem. And I was always on a polaris pig at about 8 mpg until a few years ago. Now I get 11/12 mpg :sled1:
 
I'm not too worried then. I have 11.5 gallon capacity on the sled and would guess about 10 mpg unless I'm driving through 1' of loose pow or constantly in boost.
Thanks for the insight guys.
 
Just got back from the UP. Mass City has a 24 hr BP. The Hoop, on the lake, has gas. 90 Octane. Krupps in Twin lakes. Have fun!!

There is no gas so fill up in Wakefield or Bergland.

We stay in Greenland right by Pat's ,the Yamaha dealer. He sells gas right at the dealership so I buy about 50% of my gas from them. Going there on the 18th...........
