Default $3.89 at the pump...

....at the marina at lunchtime. Same grade is $3.49 at the discount
highway volume pumpers today.

Not as bad as I thought. This was for mid-grade gasoline.

Lots of activity today...at least a dozen trailer rigs sans boats parked
near the ramps, a bunch of stored on the hard boats back in their slips,
guys waxing boat sides and painting bottoms, and the marine shop was
installing a new V8 inboard in a 27-footer.

Don't know about the Lake Carlyle marina, but street pump here is
$3.29 for 87, and $3.35 for 89 gasohol.

The e-85 liquor is about $2.99

That puts Coors at about $10.66 a gallon.

Don't know about the Lake Carlyle marina, but street pump here is
$3.29 for 87, and $3.35 for 89 gasohol.
===================

We are now at about $3.19 on the street for 87 octane, with swings from
$3.09 to $3.29 from day to day.

Why don't you guys say where you're at? I don't personally know
anyone on this group so don't know where they're at.
These prices are from this year, right? Well, here in San Jose, Ca.
street prices are hovering near $4.00 for reg. up to $4.50 for
premium. (in the up-scale nearby towns like Palo Alto, expect about
.25 cents more) I haven't checked dock prices but on Bethel Island in
the Delta it's usually about $1.00 more than street. So I figure by
summer time dock prices will be around $5.50 to $6.00 a gallon.
You guys are lucky at those prices.
Eddie


I paid $4.24 for Diesel today in Pleasanton. Thinking of going for halibut
on Friday, and the boat needs fuel, lots I think.

Summer isn't going to be a lot of fun.

In CA, you are paying the price of boutique gasoline.

You guys are getting away cheap.
Up till today the price here is $1.217 per liter.... about $4.70 per US
gallon.
The regulated prices always change at midnight Thursday...so who knows what
tomorrow will bring.
Soon it might be cheaper to drive to Maine for gas.

"The regulated prices?" Why are the prices regulated by the government?

Ethanol has 2/3 of the energy of gasoline. E-85 should sell for 60%
as much as gasoline.

Growing corn for motor fuel is extremely dumb. Not to mention that it
puts upward pressure on food prices worldwide. The poorest third world
wretchs are starving because of gasahol. I am from Iowa where the
ethanol comes from, BTW.
