Fuel prices

[saltshaker]

My boat is hauled at Huckins Boat Yard at the moment having the bottom sanded and painted.
The price of diesel yesterday at a local marina was $4,15, Huckins has a fuel truck company that will come to you with a min of 150 gals. I paid $3.34 a gal yesterday with the boat on blocks....

$3.34 sounds great compared to what the price has been! Thanks all for the info. We should keep updating this one.

Planning Ahead, I called of Judith marina RI this morning they're 3.89 with tax, less 0.10 volume disc. They usually have pretty good prices fir the area

Truck is usually cheaper but van be hard to schedule for transients

I would have expected higher prices for RI. That stretch from L.I through Mass has some very expensive fuel.

True... It always pay to call ahead and pt Judith is usually competitive

In Newport marinas are always high, the cheapest is Casey fuel barge but try re a pita. Mo to fri only, need to call a day or two ahead, etc

Another competitive place on that stretch of coastline is fairhaven/new Bedford.

The worst is Nantucket, typically $1.50 higher!

3.75 at Atlantic Highlands, that s down 0.14 in a week..

Going to stop there instead of manasquan/brielle

Came thru cape may at low tide, Utsch recommened staying within 20' of the sea wall, not ideal with an almost 20' beam and 70 feet of boat thru a 90 degree turn to get inside.

Is that with the discount? They give a discount but you have to ask for it.

I was just at Atlantic Highlands marina in NJ a couple of days ago and they did offer a 10 cents per gal discount...but they had it at a thousand gals min. We took about 1,500 gals. We did stay overnight and they got us back by charging $3.50 per ft for dockage plus a bunch for 100 amp elect. You can't win.

They'll give a .05 discount for smaller amounts. It used to be for $500 or more but that was when fuel was less than $2 per gal. I've been using the Channel Club since they're right next door and with the discount they offer our club, much cheaper than anyone else.

What were you running that took so much fuel and needed 100A electric? Doesn't sound like something that would fit in your slip!

I asked about volume discount on the phone they said no... Won't need more than 750 to 800 since i filled up in Portsmouth

3.50 dockage? Yuck! I always anchor there, just behind the breakwater
