Sapporo's stations (ENEOS, apollostation, Cosmo and Hokkaido's own Idemitsu network) line Route 36 and the Sasson Expressway. Winter dominates driving: heated self-service lanes, winter diesel and battery care are standard. EV fast charging exists but winter range planning is essential in Hokkaido.
Local tips
- Winter consumption jumps 20%+ — fill more often December–March.
- Self-service is cheaper, but full-service staff will clear snow off lights; sometimes worth it.
- Heading to Niseko or Furano, leave with a full tank; rural Hokkaido stations close early.
Only 36 of the 309 stations mapped in Sapporo say whether they sell diesel. The rest probably do; nobody has recorded it. See Sapporo on the map →
