You all having a great time fueling your vessels?



With gas now down to $2.19 in my locale, I did have a great time
refueling it when I was winterizing it.

Sure beat the $4.35 it hit this summer!


That couldn't be marine fuel from a dock. Our fuel in Seattle is
still $2.50 at the lowest and much more at the dock


I wonder just how much fuel is sold at docks. Much of the country is
inland, where boats mostly are trailered. Nobody in their right mind
would fuel the tow vehicle at the gas station and not fuel the boat as
well. My 22 ft sterndrive has the fuel fills a foot below the gunnel
on the topsides. Only convenient at a gas station, with the boat on
the trailer.
You can bet before the weather gets decent again that barrel oil
prices will be climbing again.


Yes. Its called Winter when consumption for heating peaks. Consumption
will go down in the spring, when the heating is over, and the Summer
air conditioning, boating, RV, vacation travel has not yet begun.
