Fill the tanks now !!??

[joeyleggz]

I typically leave about 80 gallons between my two tanks at the end of every season which is just a little over a quarter thinking with whats going on in the world right now, would you fill the tanks up now in preparation for the up-and-coming boating season…… what say you?

I store full every fall.... I'd top them off asap.

I say fill them now. Then fill then after ever run this summer so mentality it will jot feel as bad when you are only topping off at higher prices. But, as I have said earlier if fuel keeps anyone from using there boats....don't own a boat.

Mine goes into winter with full tanks. My plan is to refill at 3/4 to 1/2.

Don’t let your boat become a slip queen.

Fill em up, I always store for off season at 90-95% full as is recommended in everything I’ve read and confirmed by a squadron instructor.

I agree with re fueling often this season.

I’m very much looking forward to burning $10/gallon fuel

good news is I am also full for the winter so we’re sitting on 300 gallons of $4.28/gallon fuel

My yacht club sells us fuel at cost +$.10 per gallon. My October fillup was $2.65/gal.

Every time I wait thinking the price will drop, it goes up. Every time I fill up immediately thinking the price will go up, it starts a steady trend of dropping. Murphy wins this one every time.

Can't worry about boat gas. One, it is what it is. And two, I'm probably 2+ months away from even using the boat.

Speaking of old, saw infomercial this morning. Really? It took til 2022 to invent this…

One less reason for them to keep us around, I guess.

 

[MoonRiver]

had dinner and drinks with our dock mates last night and of course the conversations of slip rate increases and lake gas prices this coming year. I was surprised to hear one couple say they would get out of boating if the gas price even goes to $8!!!

It won’t matter unless your boat is a cocktail barge. We’ll all just pay.

 

[mquiet]

The boat is what ra use to get rid of stress. Even working on it is very relaxing for me, so I plan on running her. Yet, we boat year round....so let's go boating!!!!

Could you please fill up this week?

A fellow member told me diesel at Dog River/Mobile was $4.05 yesterday...

 

[Carpediem44DB]

I am topping off at noon today, waiting for mid tide to transit the marina. Currently the price is $4.90 ($4.80) with our berther's discount. The marina just got a new delivery and the office gal told me yesterday that on Monday they will get the invoice and determine how much to bump the price so today is top off day. It is an investment more sure that buying gold at this point. I transferred full to top up the port tank and will take 150 gallons to top the starboard tank. I will be good for a while.
Carpe Diem

We’ll see >$5/gal average across the farm belt soon.

Middle class getting squeezed.

Everything is going according to plan.

Yep!
Squeeze the middle class into a decision between poverty and EV.

Better watch for folks siphoning off your gas from your boat.

The longer you wait to buy fuel, the more you will pay.
