Re: Diesel Fuel Prices: Local Prices Around the World

That diesel price in Miami is just ludicrous. Uncanny why it is so much higher than most other parts of the US. In Kemah, TX it is running around $2.50 for marine diesel ($2.18 for autos at the station).

Re: Diesel Fuel Prices: Local Prices Around the World

Hang onto your hats or your wallets if you're coming to Nova Scotia......right now $1.12 min a LITRE for road diesel and marinas are usually .12 cents more. Price is set every two weeks by provincial gov. It went down .08 cents about 2 weeks ago. For all the US friends, Thats $4.23 Cdn for a US gallon.

Prob about $.50 cents US money considering the exchange rate right now,

Re: Diesel Fuel Prices: Local Prices Around the World

Looks like recent posts are comparing 5-6 year old prices with four month old prices or current prices. Seems a bit pointless to me

Re: Diesel Fuel Prices: Local Prices Around the World

I think it should be noted that most marina's sell non-ethanol laced fuel......
In the US, gasoline has 5% ethanol added to it...most cars use the 87 octane gas...

Ethanol has been shown to " eat" plastic, so it's use in the marine environment is discouraged. Ethanol free gas is typically 89 octane.

Our local marina sells non-ethanol 89 octane gas at $4.50/gallon. Diesel fuel is running at $3.65/gal.

Prior to the election, fuel prices at the marina has been around $3.95/gal, so the 55c/gal increase has all been relatively recent.

This is really hurting the small fishing boat industry, as your average 300 hp boat is burning 15 gal/hr at cruise...or about $68/hr....
