BTW: *As you know, around here marina fuel pricing does not change

Why do you keep insisting on this obvious fallacy?

I know you aren't stupid.

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

Why do you doubt me?

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.

Call my previous marina.

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

Well, I'll call your bluff.

First thing in the morning.

Then you can apologize to me for being a moron.

Moron? I see you are getting down in the gutter with the others Tom.
Pretty disappointing.
