The news says the average is down a penny but the stations near me are

if only for a few days because I am down to my last couple cans of gas
for the boat.

The truck showed up this morning and actually sold me the diesel for 3
cents less than yesterday's quote, 750 gallons at $3.66. That's 30
cents cheaper than the quote I got from Ballards Oil at the Ft Myers
Beach shrimp dock. They said that today's price was up 12 cents
however for delivery tomorrow. That's a lot of price volatility.



All the guys I know who claim to be middle class spend $2700 to fill up
their boat's fuel tanks.

Anchor Bay East Marina, in Dundalk, in the Bal'mer Harbor area, has
pretty good prices for diesel. I paid a bit more than you did around the
first of the month.

But I sure didn't buy 750 gallons...that's three tankfuls for me. I'm
just a middle class kind of guy.

So is yours the S.S. Minnow, the original from Gillian's Island?

The nice thing about big tanks is that you can pick and choose where
you fill up - very thrifty and middle class. The truly wealthy, which
I am not, don't really care all that much what they pay for fuel.

I dunno. I lived in Essex, and the "wealthy" folks I knew were very much
tight wads, and penny pinchers...

We like Essex a lot and it was on our short list of retirement
locations but eventually decided it was really out of our league if we
also wanted to have a decent boat.
