Gas Prices

[KennyKenCan]

I was reading in the paper yesterday that the price of gasoline has fallen 6 cents/gallon.<br /><br />Where?<br /><br />Here in the NY area, gas prices average about $1.85/gallon for regular, and $2.00/gallon for premium.<br /><br />Went to the gas dock over the weekend and gas was $2.85/ gallon for 89 octane, and $3.00/ gallon for 92 octane.<br /><br />These prices are definitly going to hamper the boating season this year.<br /><br />Are the Oil Companies price gouging?

Re: Gas Prices

Do you guys buy your boat gas at a gas station or a gas dock?

Re: Gas Prices

I always buy mine at the FlyingJ truck stop here at home.<br /><br />3 Reasons.<br /><br />1) They have great turnover and less chance of getting bad gas. They treat their gas to keep water content down.<br /><br />2) I have a FlyingJ frequent fueler card. <br /><br />3) It's the cheapest place around.

Re: Gas Prices

Lucky you Spinner,<br /><br />My marina requires that I buy gas from them, and they do not allow fueling in the marina area.<br /><br />They claim its EPA regulations.

Re: Gas Prices

You mean to say that you can't pull your boat out and go get gas in it somewhere?<br /><br />That seems odd.<br /><br />Is it part of an agreement you have with them that you have to buy gas from them?<br /><br />Does it say you can't pull your boat to "work" on it?<br /><br />How are they gona prove you bought gas somewhere else?

Re: Gas Prices

Two weeks ago I paid $1.749, last week $1.699, yesterday morning I filled the Truck at $1.679,Yesterday afternoon I filled the car at the same station for $1.669. It was as high as $1.789 at one point.Thats an 12 cent per gal. drop.

Re: Gas Prices

Yea Spinner,<br /><br />I dock my boat at the marina and the boat ramps around here require a permit, so hauling out is a major deal, and at $15 a foot for hauling, I would rather pay the gas dock prices.<br /><br />Ramp permit would cost me $75 per year and I don't have a trailer.<br /><br />My marina also has some of the lowest prices around, so goin to another marina is going to cost more.<br /><br />I'm pretty much stuck paying the higher prices.

Re: Gas Prices

Regular gas has fallen(?) to $2.11 a gallon at some of the gas stations on the San Francisco Peninsula. <br />This ironic, as the Calipornia Penal Code has section...211 PC........ROBBERY..........no joke, that's the real section. <br /> ...Bob in Calif...<br /> "AMERICA... NONE JUST AS GOOD"

Re: Gas Prices

Locally it's $1.75 for the regular grade.<br /><br />One thing that frosted my buns over the weekend though:<br /><br />I went on a hunting adventure in the middle of BFE. <br />A small town with a population of a half-dozen Cowboys and a dead dog...<br /><br />Guess what... The gas prices there was AT LEAST 15 cents cheaper than the town I live in of 70k+ population.<br /><br />They say it's because they have to 'truck' everything in. BULL**** !@ <br />My city is on a MAJOR Interstate.<br /><br />What about those little towns I passed through? You practically have to air drop everything in to them because they are so remote!<br /><br />Now who's making the money?<br /><br />H.

Re: Gas Prices

Just got gas this morning @ $1.54/gal. Went south 5 miles to my shop and saw it at $1.52/gal. Maybe we otta go to Westerville, Ohio and get our gas. We could all drop in on chads15 for a brew!! Anything in the frig Chad??

 

[magster65]

Re: Gas Prices

We've dropped as well, it's 83.5 cents a liter down from 90-somethin'. That's $3.79 / imperial gallon or $3.16 / american gallon. I'm going to fill up the boat in the next couple days... it's near empty and holds 150 (imp.) gallons... scary but it's over a $100. cheaper now than it was leading up to the Iraq operation.

Re: Gas Prices

im impressed with the prize of the gas in USA, thank god he gave us oil here in Venezuela, the minium wage here is 150 $ (300.000 Bs) Monthly, thats for unqualified persons, but my pay check is 1500 $ (3.000.000 Bs). A liter of gas is 0.0475 $ (95 Bs) for 95 octanes and 0.0485 $ for the premium. If i were from USA and i get retired I would move to a Venezuela, and would live like a king. If you are interested and i have some pictures of my city to show you.....Just for help....jejejejejeje..<br /><br />Pictures of the national park: <br /><br /> http://www.enoriente.com/cgi-local/folio/imagefolio.cgi?direct=Mochima <br /><br />Pictures of my house kind:<br /><br /> http://www.enoriente.com/cgi-local/folio/imagefolio.cgi?direct=Casas_Botes <br /><br />Other Fotos of Puerto La Cruz:<br /><br /> http://www.enoriente.com/cgi-local/folio/imagefolio.cgi?direct=El_Morro <br /><br /> http://www.enoriente.com/cgi-local/folio/imagefolio.cgi?direct=Paseo_Colon <br /><br />I hope you like it, you should visit it some time
