Wat is it about 'marine gas' that makes it cost $6.60 a gallon?  Marine gas is cheaper than road gas. Don't pay the road tax. Regular gas is currently around $6.90 a gal.
Buying Fuel @ a marina here in FL is MUCH more expensive than buying at a "auto" fuel station. |

Plus when the bulk plant/tank farm buy the fuel in early spring we can get stuck at the higher price if the fuel goes down after they bought it. Also get fuel barged up from Washington ST. There is kinda of a monopoly too along with gouging.  One yr we did get some fuel from Russia.  Looked yellow but man did everything run good.  |
Now you've done it.
