35000 gallons at $4/gallon.....(gulp)

I know that I get a discount after the first 100 gallons.



I always wonder what the big boys pay considering the fuel comes in a
lighter a tug brings alongside. That's got to be charged to someone,
right?

I'm sure they are paying $4/gallon in Bermuda or Azores or Gibraltar, but
not Miami unless provisions haven't been made ahead of time. Fuel oil is
$6/gallon across most of the socialist world, from the heavy tax load to
pay for socialized medicine, etc.
