The price I paid to fill up the fuel tank on Yo-Ho at WaWa. The tank was
half-full from the end of last season.

I normally do not like to schlep that much fuel around on the boat, but
I have a feeling the prices are going to keep on climbing.


As few hours as you put on a boat, it'll last you this season, and
maybe next.

Not as bad as the sticker shock at the pump at Easter. Flying J in Lebec
and the rang up the wrong pump, the one next to me. Instead of $55 for
my truck the bill was $587 for the semi next to me. $4.09/ gallon. They
apolgised and credited the Credit Card.



The doc who bought Yo Ho I, my 25' Parker, has a 170-gallon tank to fill
at $3.30 per gallon. That's damn close to your $587! Yikes!!!!


My boat has a 67 gallon tank and last July in Tofino, BC, Canada I had
forgot to fill the boat in the US and spent 197 loonies filling the boat at
about $1.02 a liter.
