Ron,

Since you can see into the future, and know what tomorrow's fuel prices are, would you mind letting me know what the winning MegaMillions number be, too? Thanks! I'll buy you some fuel with my winnings. Jim, warm up the Cummins on the 52DA you have. I'll be down after Ron comes though on this.

Hinckley (Winters) Yacht Basin has 89 octane for 4.39, and 93 octane for 4.69. I passed them by on the PWC, didn't need any to reach the trailer, but was curious. Couldn't see the diesel pump, but the gas prices said enough.

Best regards,
Frank

Hmmm. Good to hear -> gonna need gas this coming weekend.

I paid $4.17 at Good Luck Point a week or two ago. The Bay has been HOPPING the last two-three weekends.

guess i goofed on the date. BUT as i look into my crystal ball and play with my ouiga board, i see gas prices dropping even more as we head into the winter storage season. delay topping off as long as you can unless there is a hurricane event in the making.

Jim, never mind the 52. It's Ron's fault.

Ocean Gate Aug.25,2008 Premium Gas $422 That is with .10 OFF for Boat US

 

[rondds]

Last week Ocean Beach Marina was keeping the same $4.55 and Chadwick Island Marina $4.30, that's for 89.

Two weeks ago, Schooners Island in Wildwood had 89 octane for $3.89. Still $4.09 for regular up in OCNJ.

$3.99 at Comstocks last Sunday 31 Aug. Hinckley is still high. $4.39 for plus, $4.50 for premium and $4.80 for diesel. I guess that high-class name must command high-class prices. Hinckley or Hickley or whatever use to be Winters.

Best regards,

It's time to start thinking about winterizing and top off te tanks. Can anyone share their experiance with fuel prices on the bay (northern part of it).

Thanks,
Alex.

Hey Alex
I topped off at Comstock last friday and paid $3.79 for 89 valvtect. Their website now says $3.72. Clark's landing website now says $3.79. They are USUALLY the cheapest in these here parts.
I'm coming OUT today:smt089

Thanks Ron. I tooks a ride there on Sunday and was caught by surprize that Comstock was closed. I was able to get some fuel at one of the marinas (Doles something...) right by the entance to the channel. They had $4.01 cash and $4.10 credit. BTW, I've learned that if you pay by check it's the same as cash. This is something new to me. I never thought of bringing check book to the the gas station, but to save $15-20 it doesn't heart.

Hey Alex
Sorry you made the schlep and came up empty. What time was that? I think they close earlier on Sunday (3 or 4pm?). OR, they sold off what they had in the tanks and didnt want to get any more deliveries. Some places do that b/c they don't want to keep any fuel in storage during the winter months. I think Comstock did that last year. You probably went to Dale's. MAJOR RIP OFF, as you no doubt discovered. Their prices are consistently MUCH higher than anyone else, even way back in the day when gas was "cheap."

Wow, that's pretty good. I'll have to keep them in mind for the next season.

 

[Alex F]

Ron, I don't know what the deal is but my marina and Jon's marina keep their prices unchanged CIM=$4.30 and OBM=$4.55. So, even with that rip off Dales I still saved few bocks.

 

[J Levine]

OBM gas dock was closed on Sat I ended up at Good Luck Point and paid $3.95

Filled at Crystal Point in the Manasquan today for 3.28.

Fueled up at Ocean Gate Marina on the Toms River this morning (Monday, 10/13). Wow, was I surprised, they received a gas load early this morning and priced it at $2.959 ($2.859 with BoatUS Card) yesterday it was $3.189 for "regular". Diesel remains at $2.749.
