Gas on Ruta 3 in Chile

Does anyone know whether there is a gas station on Chile Ruta 3 from the noth ferry from Tierra del Fuego to Punta Arenas? For a number of reasons I don't want to take the ferry from Porvenir. Dave

I'm in Ushuaia now and rode around the area so that map looks pretty correct. What kind of up-to-date info are you looking for?

Main problem with maps is they just show where the fuel stations are, not whether they actually have fuel. Several large towns we have needed fuel have had one or more outlets closed waiting for tankers to arrive.

Yes, we used to do that - but too heavy. E-book is a good compromise.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love.
