Wow, not understanding that diesel price. I know it is more expensive but that is a little overboard at close to double. Curious to see what we will pay at our marina.

Last summer even though diesel in Canada was a bit more on the street pumps compared to gas, the marina was priced a little below gas for diesel.

Something doesn't seem right. Boat diesel has always been cheaper than regular.

The worker there must be dyslexic. Should have read $5.29 :captain2:

Bud37, that makes mores sense. Figured diesel was going to be slightly more than gas.

That said, but in reality, isolated places can charge whatever they want.......seen it lots of that up here for years on the water...... :popcorn:
