$4.90 per gallon here in Wrightsville Beach. With the beautiful weather I expected to see more boats out on the water too.... there were a few but it was still pretty quiet.... actually it was nice - no one on the water that I had to slow down or dodge... beautiful day and I had the ICW all to myself!
I know, it's crazy. I'm bringing up my 2001 290DA this weekend from Myrtle Beach and I don't plan to buy any fuel for the trip in NC if I don't have to. Of course that will change once the boat is here. But it's always astounded me how high gas is on the water. Why? They're charging anywhere from $1.30-$1.80 (give or take) higher than the land pump prices. Makes you want to go buy a couple of 15 gallon rolling tanks and just fill up at the gas station. Of course that isn't allowed on the dock and I wouldn't do that anyway.
I've always found it interesting how once you hit the SC border, gas drops by 30 cents per gallon. I always say jackpot when I see that. Welcome to NC, one of the highest gas taxes in the country!
