Anyone bought gas or diesel on the water yet ?

blackhullcharters · 04-21-2008, 06:06 AM

Just wondering if anyone had seen the prices at the dock so far.
Was told Brewers in Plymouth $4.75 a gal for diesel !

Usually diesel is quite a bit cheaper at the dock because of no road tax

I haven't seen a posted price of gasoline on a dock yet !

Not at our dock yet. I don't think they've received a fuel delivery yet.
At local shell station diesel was 4.29 and gas 3.69 yesterday so I think
the marinas may have sent out for some new numbers "5s and/or 6s" to
put on the fuel dock pumps.

$4.18 the other day at Standish boat yard in Tiverton for diesel and Ken said the next load would be $4.50 a gal.

Well no, but considering I have bought gas on the vineyard for my truck at 3.97. I don't want to think of what it is on the water.

Fueled up the work truck today. $4.75 for diesel. Its been this way for over a month now. In the past the teamsters would have been on strike by now. Now everyone just tacks on a fuel surcharge.

Just saw an article on MSN saying that over the next two years the global oil supply could take the price of a barrel of crude to $180. This would put the price of gas well of $5.50 a gallon. The article also went on and said that as oil is getting more expensive to produce, the oil industries in three key countries, Mexico, Russia and Nigeria, are short on cash, which could put global oil production into a decline.

Looks like this problem is here to stay

Gas was $4.01/gallon at Cedar Island today.

The only thing pushing up oil is Wall St greed. This is false pricing and is no longer linked to supply and demand. Come down to Long Island sound and watch the supertankers lined up to unload.
In the past when fuel reached to high the teamsters threatend to shut trucking in the U.S. down. Now they just tack on fuel surcharges. The last one I got was triple the normal delivery price it was tacked on to.
The Long Island heating oil trade group has a form letter to send to our senators and congressmen. Seems its hurting them just as much as us.

Wrong demonfish-- It is ALL about supply and demand-- Unfortunately, too much demand (US used to be only real oil users) from developing nations (india, china, japan, russia, etc.)-- People (other than the US) are finding that driving a car is nicer than riding a bike-- Coupled with limited supply and you get rising prices--

Hey-- we should consider ourselves fortunate--Europe fuel prices are approximately 3x the US !!

Europe is three times higher because of the taxs levied on gasoline. Europe runs on diesel or used to. If you wanted to see dirt and soot all you had to do was look at a building in any major city there. I know I worked for a contractor doing cleaning.
As for the price of gas in this country, you better do some reading and less listening to the party line. The county can start by passing the ENRON Loophole act. Then cut the tax subsidys that big oil is granted. There is no supply problem. This is plain corporate greed. Look back over thirty years and see what profits the oil companies took and then look at the last five years and see what the profits are. They dont add up. The oil companies will tell you it cost more now to make gas and heating oil, so they charge you more. Yet their profit precentage is huge compared to what it used to be.
Thats like saying in 1970 something cost thirty cents to make so we charged you one dollar to buy it. Now it cost fifty cents to make it but we need to charge you four dollars to buy it.
If your so willing to buy the party line, just remember what Enron did to people in California and what it did to all its employees , stock holders and pension holders. Those people were left with nothing many ended up homeless. The major players left the deal with hundreds of millions in golden parachutes.
