Gas prices dropping
 
$2.49 at the local pumps here. Down from $2.67, then $2.59, $2.52
Hopefully and with no rain this Saturday, it won't make the boat run
any better, but it will be a bit sweeter to know that there's some
extra bucks left in the pocket.

Compared to last year? this is a great sigh of relief.

$2.30-something the other day at WaWa. Amazing how gasoline prices seem
to drop everytime it sounds as if we might be serious about doing
something about our excessive importation and usage of it.

Beats me, but I'm sure you can add at least a buck to the average pump
price.

I usually fill up at the gas station which is about a mile from the
launch ramps, I can't say I've ever bought marina gas.

Well, this is CT so take it for what it's worth.

In Mystic, Brewer's it was $2.96 and Niantic Shipyard $3.01 last time
I checked - (last week). In RI, it's about the same - ten cents or so
cheaper depending on where you buy it. MA? No idea.

You still thinking about that Chris Craft?

Gas prices in the Chicago area (vic's terretory) is the highes in
Illinois due to all the extra taxes they impose.

Not necessarily. Count Krausula probably owns his own marina pump and
gets bargain fuel directly from Venezuela. I'm sure as being a most
honored guest, he and Emperor Hugo Chavez have had many a delightful
discussion concerning the evils of your country over gala luncheons
hosted by the very dictator himself.

Regardless as others pay, he fuels his trawler for free.
