Gas prices seem to be on everyone's mind, so I want to do an informal poll.

What is gas going for at your local marina, as opposed to the highway station?

Here near my cottage in Gravenhurst, Ontario, the price of gas on the highway is $1.35 / Liter --> which translates to $5.04 USD / Gallon. The marina is selling for $1.58 / Liter --> $5.58 USD / Gallon.

$4/Gallon isn't so bad, after all, is it? :)

Here in Lodi California gas is about $4.49, at the marina this weekend it was a even $5. I dont think we will ever be below $4 again. :mad:

Gas is running $3.92 - $3.97 at the station and $5.75 to $6.50 depending on the marina and lake. Still makes sense to pull the boat out to gas up the 48gal tank.

Re: Local gas price?

Got down to $4.02 sunday morning then back to $4.14 Sunday night here in northern Indiana.

Took vacation last week, drove 2036 miles and the highest I saw was $4.29 down on the outer banks North Carolina but inland it was $4.02, low was $3.95 somewhere in Pennsylvania I think.

Your #'s are off a bit. A gallon of gas is 3.78 liters @ $1.35/liter you are looking at $5.10/gallon and at $1.58/liter you are at $5.97/gallon.

Here in Yellowknife there are a couple of marinas but I know one doesn't have a fuel dock and I'm not sure of the other. Our in town gas price is $1.499/liter or $5.67/gallon

Re: Local gas price?

If you compare a gallon of gas to a gallon of martinis or a gallon of beer the gas is cheaper.

!2 martinis 4oz. = 1 gallon x 7.00 average in lounge = $84.00 per gallon

4 beers 12oz. = 1 gallon x 3.15 average in lounge = $12.60 per gallon

As you could see gas is cheap. Now I understand why I drive an SUV and do not worry about the gas.

$ 3.97 per gallon here.

Since I have removable 6 gal outboard tanks, I don't use the marina. Here in Sault, MI it's $4.23

BTW, How's thing's in Lake Muskoka? That's a beautiful area!

Yeah, but I don't need 20 gallons of martinis every week to get to work.:D

Our cottage isn't on any of the big three lakes in Muskoka (Muskoka, Joseph, Rosseau) but I have been boating on them occasionally, and they are quite beautiful. Most people on those lakes are probably not even aware the price of gas changed! :D

4 beers 12oz. = 1 gallon x 3.15 average in lounge = $12.60 per gallon

Make that $6.75 if your at the ballpark.

I still don't get that.....I can see the Miller Brewing Company from my seat and I can't get cheaper beer?
