Slip Availability

Just to follow up on previous post. I was up last Monday and checked some of the gas stations I visted last year that didn't have ethanol and they now have ethanol although some didn't have a sticker on the pumps. Talked to a owner and he mentioned it was cheaper with the ethanol. The prices we pay would be even more than what it is now without it.

I do not care about price when it boils down to gas milage, I get over 30mph when I used to get ethanol free gas in my 2006 accord. WHen I purchased in the lakes region over the past years, down in RI and MA i get about 28-29 with ethanol gas which also means I spend more money and by the way burn more gas worse for teh earth, so who is kidding who that ethanol is better for the environment.

The Village Store in Alton has a notice at the counter that their gas does not contain ethanol.

I just came back from the lake and was told by my neighbor at the marina that there is 12 slips open at ours, and 41 open at MVYC!!!

Was up again yesterday and found a gas station in Center Harbor that "doesn't" have ethanol. Also checked a couple of gas stations in Meredith and they "do" have ethanol. I'm a little suspicious of the one in Center Harbor because the brand was the same as one of the ones I checked in Meredith. The person at Center Harbor did mention about having a sticker on the pump without me asking which the one in Meredith did have. He also mentioned that it was a state law. Will follow up.
Interesting enough the station that I visited before said the ethanol gas was cheaper was charging 4 cents more than the one without.

The lake looked awesome yesterday, enjoy.
