No, I am not stupid and I don't think you are.

Why do you doubt me?

Call my marina.

Call my previous marina.

I then expect an apology from you and others here who continue to
doubt what I say.

Because if they did as your suggest, they would lose money every time
they filled their tanks.

Wholesale gas purchases have to be forward looking - meaning that they
are selling what they have now to be able to purchase what they need
tomorrow.

Doing as you suggest, means that they have a stable supply of gas at a
set price or have purchased a set amount of gas at a set price which
no distributor does anymore - the distributor can't afford to do that
because of the volatility of gasoline pricing. If they do have a
stable supply of gas at a set price, then every other distributor in
the area would really like to know where they get it.

Call my marina.

Well, I'll call your bluff.

First thing in the morning.

Then you can apologize to me for being a moron.

No, I'm being serious.

What he's suggesting is impossible.

However, he has provided a link, so I will call in the morning and
we'll see.

Why in the world do you care what the prices of fuel on Lake Lanier is?

I might want to know - I might be taking the Ranger there this summer.

It is cheaper than any gas you buy up your way, but it will not be the
same when you get here.

Why does anyone care what the price of fuel is in another area?

I boat in three different states - MA, NY and RI - prices vary by
state - ipso facto, I'd like to know what the prices are.

MA cheapest. NY and RI will be very close in price, but they will be
different every time you go out.

I don't care what the price of fuel in Ohio, CA or NY is, and I really
can't figure out why anyone would.

See above - not necessarily Ohio or CA, but NY - well...

Why do you care?

See Item 1. :)

I can understand why someone might be interested in the cost of gas in
an area they will be boating in. With the cost of fuel being so
volitable, the only thing I can tell you is the price will change, and
my guess is it will go up.

Any prices you read in rec.boats will be obsolete by the time you get to
the dock.

Now, the price of sunblock will remain fairly constant, what is the cost
of SPF 45 up your way. ;)

They might say that they only change the prices to appease the local
yokels, but their CPA and accountant would convince even the dumbest
businessman of the fallacy of only changing your price after you refill
your tank.

I can just see the owners laughing every time someone believes that story.

The same person who says his marina does not raise their price of fuel,
until they refill their tanks, is the same person who praised his
previous marina for being so sweet that they installed a wheelchair ramp
out of the goodness of their heart, and then saved him money by not
replacing his impeller because the engine was not running hot. While
P.T. Barnum never actually said "Their is a sucker born every minute",
he should have.

The marina is required by law to install a wheelchair rampway for anyone
who needs it (American's with Disability Act). The same wonderful
marina told him you do not have to replace an impeller (of unknown age)
because the water temp is remaining constant. That should have been a
red flag to any boater to look for a new mechanic. If he had not
ignored this red flag, it would have saved him a lot of money.

All I have to say about the fuel prices, is consider the source.
