Fuel prices are dropping
We drove back from Tampa today and saw several gas stations at $3.85,
down from 4+ last week. Later I did some price shopping for diesel on the telephone since we are getting ready to head north for the summer on the trawler. After the first couple of calls I was expecting something close to $4 but literally struck oil on the fourth call. We've got a truck arriving at the house tomorrow morning for $3.69/gal, all taxes included. |

This, blamed on the RISE in the price of a barrel of oil. |

It was $3.90 at the marina two weeks ago when it was $4.29 on the road. |

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. So you just spend $2700 on fuel for your boat.. you must be middle-class. |

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. |

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. |

Medicine, science and much international trade is now in metric. Take the UK, even they now do litres having abandoned the Imperial measure some time ago. Litre is the common spelling, however for US, liter is the official spelling. So for a rough estimate, 4 litres is a US gallon. But to be entirely accurate, 3.7854118 litres in a US gallon. 1 Liter is 1.05668821 US quarts. Clear as mud? -- Take a look at ANY country, more debt is more problems.

Last time I bought boat gas I got 50 gallons for $3.57 or so. It lasted me almost 2 months but we were busy and did not boat as much as usual. If I don't see a big drop soon I may just buy a few cans and watch the price. I would buy right now. *Unions in Yemen have just caused some shutdowns= . * Libya taps are off, a Canadian pipeline also went down for major unplanned maintenance and news is a shortage is coming from Saudi.
