I'm told our mix of 70% #2 and 30% #1 is good to -30 below I would think they would sell a 50/50 or 70% #1 and 30% #2 mix in MT. I recall back in 1984 & 85 they sold #2 and a 1 & 2 mix at the truck stops in Billings and Missoula MT.

they do in MT, but i work in ND where it's considerably colder, and I'd say 75%of the stations don't sell #2, and I'm thinkin there's a reason for that
