Re: Where are you from, and what are they gouging you for fuel?

Last Week I was at Shasta Lake in Northern California. Marinas at the lake were typically $4.42-----$4.95 per gallon.

We asked around and found that one marina; Holiday Harbor...was the price leader at $3.99.

I don't know if locals get any sort of discount...not as far as we could tell.

Of course if you were trailering you could buy fuel in town at $3.35 or so...but we rented a boat for a day and had to re-fuel at the marina upon iot's return.

Ouch. Beautiful lake though...especially earlier in the season when the lake is full and the trees drop right down to the water's edge.
Thanks for reading,
Chuck

here in mid michigan we are curently paying 2.52 / gal regular....someone on another website states: if you can take a $100 bill, throw it in the toilet and flush it down the drain without being bothered - then boating is for you. afterall, boats are holes in the water that we throw our money into ( and love every minute of it )

In the 5 days since I last posted prices here in St. Louis, it gone from $2.74 to $2.48 per gallon today. They say just 10-15 miles south of us it's around $2.25. Now that's progress.....Hope it continues, but not holding my breath...
