Cost of Marine Diesel
Marine diesel is the same fuel sold for 'non-highway' use. Like farming and
stationary engines. If you purchase the fuel from a distributer for these purposes the price will be about $.50 to $.80 cheaper than at the marina fuel dock. I only purchase fuel about once a year for my boat or other non-highway purposes and I generally wait for the fuel prices to drop to around $1/gal at the local distributer. If I'm going to need ~ 100gal + they will deliver it, even to the marina dock. Since my marina no longer sells fuel, I haven't heard any objections. I'm afraid I can't say what the current price is at the marina pumps. The summer it was $1.76 at Pleasant Harbor, WA. -- My opinion and experience. FWIW Steve s/v Good Intentions |
