We topped off the tank today at our marina before heading out onto the
Lake. Still $4.19/gallon and squirted in a whopping 24 1/2 gallons..
Not bad after all the cruising we have done on the boat since the last
top off.

$4.19 a gallon at the marina ain't bad, Jim, relatively speaking of course.

I'll be putting in $75 worth Saturday, I guess, for use on Sunday. That
should be about 17 gallons. WaWa.

I agree. As I said before (though some doubted me) our marina (and
most I dealt with around here) do not adjust their prices until a new
fuel shipment is received.

Wow, Harry's 36' lobster boat only takes 17 gallons?
I wonder how that lobstre boat holds up to his statement at Chuck's
place about recreational boats using too much fuel?

Florida delivered 4.30/gallon for Diesel (200 gallon min), at the marina
about $4.75
Bahamas big islands $4.90 to 5.20 Outislands just hit 5.70 Gas is over
5 every where.

$4.19 is fantastic. Is about $4.45 for RUL at the service station. Paid
$4.85 for diesel in Oroville yesterday, and most stations as I came through
Marysville were $4.99 diesel.

It will take about $775.00 to top of my two 70-gallons tanks in my
Regal in Bethel Island in the San Francisco Bay Delta. That's
figuring $5.50 a gallon. If I'm lucky. Haven't been to the Delta
this summer yet, so hopefully it's only $5.50. Reg. gas at land
stations is around $4.50 and up.
There is good news though. It may take only $675.00 to fill up as
I've got a few gallons in the tanks right now.
Whew! I'm so lucky.

I filled up a couple weeks ago and put in $175 for 47 gallons. Been boating
twice since then, but first trip was for shad and only went maybe 4 miles.
2 gallons of gas. This week went up to Oroville for a couple days boating
and did a lot of the movement on the T-8 kicker while trolling or on the
electric when bass fishing. So probably only burned 15 gallons of gas in
the two days.
