I know the fuel site but, it is rather limited as of late. I also clearly understand I am at the mercy of my own throttle as to the frequency of my fuel dock visits.
But, anyone seeing cost dips as I'm seeing on the street. Just paid $3.37 / gal here. it was a buck more two weeks ago. Hoping this trend hits the marina fuel islands soon!
Anyone seeing their Fuel dock costs going down? and to what price? Mike
 
No, dock price just jumped from $4.51 to $4.59 this week... :(
 
Oh yea, we dropped from $5.16 to $5.09, whoopee!!!!!!!!!!! Our little gas dealers are in kahoots with each other. I'm thinking I could almost save money by traveling across the pond to Milwaukee to fill up. LOL

Orange beach,al. 4.79 for rec 90 100% gas. Same gas is 4.10 at the station up the road where I fill the waverunners
 
Prices at all marins around here , Seneca Lake (a finger lake) are at $5.00/gal. Fortunately at my marina only, they are owned by the town, not private. Being owned by municipality we are the only marina on the lake where we are allowed to fuel our boats with our own fuel. I have 4 (15gL) tanks I use to fuel my boat from the station down the road paying only $3.67/gal.

I dont want 10% sitting around in the tanks either. Luckily tje station down the road aldo happens to sell non eth for around $4.00/gal. There has been an occassional usage of ethanol gas but if its not going to be sitting around eating at rubber and such there is no harm in it if its going to be burned in the same weekend.

I've noticed the Mariners Network on fuel prices has down sized its listings. None of the pumps in our area are listed anymore.
Our marina is run by county government. It is a union operation. I believe our marina had a policy for $.0.60 per gallon over street average. Hope that holds true.
 
I just filled up our new boat at Northpoint/Skipper buds.. 93 octane.

We store there, so get the gas discount card... .20 off. Makes a difference - reefpoint is usually lower too.

Check out northpoints website, they have listing there.. http://npmonline.com/
 
We paid $4.34 at McKinley Marina in Milwaukee last Sunday. This was the same price as of 5/5/13 when the fuel dock opened for the season. Car gas on land is at around $3.39. McKinley gas is also 10% ethanol, just like the car gas. I have been adding Valvetech. Next fill I plan on calling around and checking prices.
 
This weekend we paid $4.39 in Tawas, $4.19 in Port Sanilac and $4.39 at Gregory's Marina on the Detroit River.
 
$3.84 for 188 gallons of diesel last Friday in Stockton, CA less an $18 discount. Gas is super high (as it is everywhere) at $4.61 there but diesel is reasonable.

Doesn't McKinley already add the Valvtech, or are you adding more? There is a pump in Sheboygan that has E10 with an addative, not sure if it is Valvtech or not, but it's over 1$ a gallon cheaper than the pure gas at Harbor Centre. I've been wondering how the boats at McKinley are holding up with the E10? Are there more fuel related issues than the marinas with pure gas?
 
The guy at the fuel dock did not say anything about Valvetech being added. I have heard of no engine or fuel related problems in the marina.
