Marina gas prices - how much are you paying this summer?
Here in the UK we are lucky to find fuel at less than $7 per gallon for
unleaded, and we can't calim any tax back.(marine and heating deisel is about half the price) fuel is heavily taxed in the interests of 'green issues' in an attempt to reduce greenhouse gasses. A typical day's boating in a 4.3l mercruiser is about $100 in. I'm afraid you will get little sympathy from this side of the pond for complaints on gas prices. Please don't take this the wrong way, I would *love* to be able to get petrol at 23 pence a litre. -Hey, I'd even bath in the stuff! Considerable numbers of people here now have even resorted to buying large quantities of cooking oil to use as deisel in cars and vans. Our roads now sometimes smell like a back street fish and chip shop (you have to experience this to appriciate it!) .. "Snafu" wrote in message arthlink.net... I usually fill my trailer boat at the same place I fill the truck, and the cost here in Vancouver, WA is about $1.50 - $1.60 per gallon. Last weekend, I used a marina slip at Ilwaco, WA where there is just one fuel dock. The price: $2.049 per gallon. Ashore, the price of gas in the Ilwaco / Long Beach, WA area is about $1.80, but that includes road tax (WA has one of the highest road taxes in the US) which the marina fuel dock presumably does not include. My brother-in-law was recently at Lake Shasta, CA. He says the gas price at marinas there is about $3.00 per gallon! How much are you paying at the dock? How does it compare to the price ashore? Just curious Dan |
