Why is West Alton Marina up to 50 cents less than everyone else?

Location, location, location/supply-demand. West Alton certainly does not get the boat traffic that the marinas do in the channel or Paugus Bay. That could be the reason, but not sure that's really it. Just an educated guess.

West Alton installed much larger tanks than they had in their old gas dock's location. Also they are still selling thru the lower priced gas, as their traffic is still low. Once the weather gets better, all their slip renters will start staying on and using their boats - resulting in more frequent deliveries of gas by their suppliers
