Just had the boat topped off by the mobile marine fueling guys.

$3.399/gallon * 73.9 gallons=$251.19

It's about 5 cents less per gallon if you go to the marina to fuel up,
but these guys come to your house while you're at work and fill your
boat in the backyard.
I just paid $923 for a checkup and 7 filling for my son, so.....

Around here, gas at the pump is about $1.79 for mid-grade. If you can
afford to pay an extra $1.60 a gallon because you are to frigging lazy
to go to the pump, I'm ready to vote for socialized medicine.

Damn, Gene, where are you getting pump gas at $1.79 per gallon (I
assume all US measurements). I want to come there. The best I can find
around Pittsburgh is $2.62.

Methinks Gene made a typo.

I thought so too...except for the fact that Gene then chastised me for
paying $1.60 more per gallon than him when I paid $3.39.

$3.39-$1.60=$1.79.
