“Locally owned and operated by a San Juan Island family. This is the place to buy ethanol free fuel for all of your power equipment and outboard engines. The owners Adam and Deanna are amazing. Very thankful and appreciative that we have this fuel station on the island as a local islander I always buy my fuel here on island and I often hear fuel prices are less expensive than in Seattle.The Marine fuel dock is located at the Port of Friday. Harbor also has ethanol-free fuel for larger boats and of course diesel and regular gasoline. You can also purchase ice at the fuel dock as well as additives and oils. Bring a few extra bucks to tip out the dock attendance who are great at helping you tie up with a friendly smile.”

“Driving an Electric car to a gas station always makes me feel odd... however they have an air pump that's free to the public. Just make sure to be polite and spool the house back up when you are done. If they are going to be nice enough to let you use it for free, be nice enough to not just leave a huge hose laying everywhere. Customer service is awesome and the people working there are awesome. If you drive a gasoline or diesel based vehicle, I highly reccomend Petro San Juan.”

“There is a woman here named Ashley who I am convinced is an angel. If you can make buying gas in the year of our Lord 2026 a pleasant experience, you must be. Ashley was delightful to talk to and very knowledgeable about where everything was (and apologetic about the rugged island pricing. I get it girl) Give Ashley a raise, and thanks for stocking all the essentials a panicked tourist may need :)”

"These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains.
