Lake Gas

Just Sold · 06-05-2007, 08:48 AM

Filled the tank on Sunday at Fay's - 45 Gal @$3.50 9/10. You do the math.

Even with a 70 gallon tank and a 260 hp engine I cannot complain as my boat is not a gas hog comparatively speaking. Of course if you were to keep the throttle at or near wide open the gas just does dissapear.

According to Fay's they are having a good year selling new and used boats so the gas prices do not seem to be a problem. Just look at their web site and you do see a lot of the used inventory moving and new listings for used boats being added frequently. They, as I believe, are doing something very right.

Gas prices and the weather seem to have made the lake very quiet since before Memorial Day....my little four stroke runs off a six gal porta-plastic tank and a two-gal backup so's thats' about 8 x 3 = $24.00 for a half day of slowly cruising around at 15mph, up on plane, and looking to find those fun big waves from the cabin cruisers. Who says big waves are no fun....bring em on! Old slow and steady wins the race! Anyone know where I can get one of those old bumper stickers that says "I may be slow, but I'm ahead of you!"

Tanked up on Sunday at Lakeport since they're usually a bit lower than others.

better than Channel and Thurston's at $3.59 a gallon this weekend

codeman671 · 06-12-2007, 02:10 PM

Sheps was $3.52 and Y Landing was $3.66 if memory serves me correctly- from Sunday.

Stinger · 06-12-2007, 08:40 PM

Thurston's was $3.59 last Sunday.

Mink Islander · 06-13-2007, 11:20 AM

The "Y" sells 92 (or higher octane -- can't remember) which explains it's price relative to others.

LIforrelaxin · 06-17-2007, 08:51 PM

The Price at the pump this weekend at 19 mile was 3.39 for 89 octane. Also in talking to the girl at the pump she mentioned that the owner this year wants to try and keep the price low to attract the gas bussiness he has been loosing do to his high prices, in past years......

baja-mama · 06-18-2007, 08:36 AM

Lowest price on the lake

Seadoo · 06-18-2007, 10:17 AM

3.11 @ lakeport and i heard they are staying open till 8 friday and Sat. now!!

Weekend Pundit · 06-18-2007, 09:46 PM

Gas at Fay's was $3.50/gal last I checked. Gas at Glendale Marine (dry rack) was $3.74 as of today.

Cheapest I've seen has been Lakeport Landing, but then, they've always been less expensive than anybody else over the last few years.

Has Thurston's opened their gas dock yet? I went by there last week and it had no prices posted and didn't appear to be open.

jrc · 06-18-2007, 10:08 PM

Mountain View was around 3.44 on Sunday. I have CRS so I might be a little off. It was at least a dime cheaper than Channel.

We all know Lakeport is consistently the best price, but I hardly ever go that far down Paugus. Is any marina consistently the second cheapest?

It has been open every now and then throughout the weekend but no idea if they will be open steady. I beleive that they own the gas dock but they rent it out to someone else, they do not run the gas operations. that is my belief and understanding but I may be wrong.

AC2717 · 06-26-2007, 09:26 AM

Heading up This weekend, leaving Thursday night, need to gas up the boat to the top on Friday morning, can I get a quick recap of prices for the Pagus bay area and possibly Meredith area? Mainly Lakeport landing, Irwin or Channel or Thurston's.

thank you

sgold44 · 06-26-2007, 04:24 PM

Channel was $3.51 on Sunday

Paugus Bay Resident · 06-26-2007, 06:53 PM

Irwins is down to 3.39 from 3.56 a few days ago.

Resident 2B · 06-27-2007, 10:26 PM

As of yesterday afternoon, gas was $3.59 at Thurston's and at the Weirs and $3.51 at Channel.

I did not have a chance to see the price at Lakeport, but if it is $3.39 at Irwin's, I would guess it is below $3.25 at Lakeport. However, this is a guess.
