Q-A fuel
We live with in 25 miles of the US boarder in Wash state. For me to make a round trip to get fuel with no boarder line ups it usually takes just about 1 to 1.5 hrs. Be pending on the boarder lineups on both sides.
The boarder crossings on the lower mainland (Vancouver area) have much long lines as a rule compared to the rest of the Province of BC.

Back when I was crossing weekly, I often listened to AM-1130 as they gave the various crossing times every 10 minutes, with the traffic reports.
People seldom go south just for fuel. But they do go to Bellingham to shop -and- fuel.

Q-C fruit
You will NOT be able to take any fruit from BC in to Wash State, period. Even if it has a sticker on it saying it is grown in the states they will NOT allow you to take it back into the states. Veggies I am not so sure of, but I think it's the same because yesterday when they asked us when we crossed into Wash state , they asked if we had any Fruit or Vegetables on board. However there are something's they will allow, so as a rule we never take any fruit, Veg, meat or booze going into the U.S. We do bring some meats back however we have a list that was given to us at Canada Customs of type and weights allows into BC.
There are fruit stands around Omak and Wenatchee south of the Boarder in Wash State

You are, of course, correct about fruit
