GAS price rundown please

[wildwoodfam]

Coming up and need to know if it is worth hauling my portable gas tank with me - to fill off lake and use at the house instead of filling at Marinas. What's the rundown of gas prices - especially on North/Northeast side - Center Harbor to Wolfeboro. Thanks :rolleye1:

Not really in the area you mentioned, but Mountain View was 2.649 on Wednesday.

Pier 19 was $2.799 last weekend :eek:

Not sure if this list anything in your area of interest though,

[wildwoodfam]

As suspected :emb: - we'll be throwing the mobile gas tank in the back of the truck!! I can fill it down here for 2.29 gallon! :D

The prices being quoted above are from marinas and places that pump for boats. Rather than traveling with a large quantity of extra gas, why not fill that tank at one of the roadside (regular) stations? Last I checked, the stations were priced comparable to those down here in PA. And the price advantage of 5-10 cents a gallon would be lost by hauling it. Just a thought.

With a Meredith Village Savings Bank 'Generations Card' I get 3% off the listed 2.25 or 2.29 or whatever/gal, reg-plus-super, from the Meredith Station Irving across Route 3 from the Meredith Town Docks.

You're saving how much money :confused: ?

I "migrate" between Florida and Winnipesaukee with just one gallon in my truck's bed — and that quantity makes me nervous!

Anyway...remember to "ground" the tank when you fill it.

Addendum:

During the gas crisis of 1978, the family's trip to Winnipesaukee from Florida had to be made in 24 hours. Gas stations would only pump to [my] even-numbered tags on the day I was to be traveling.

I put 12 gallons of full spare gasoline tanks into the van, confidant of making the 28-hour trip without being stuck -- and did make it OK.

I reasoned that gasoline stored outside on the roof would have posed a danger (heat-expansion, theft, leaks) but still uncomfortable carrying it anyway. Why we didn't simply spend the money for a motel stay eludes me. Though PA is not Winnipesaukee, it still would have been a day away from work.

There was no discussion of static electricity hazard back then (or the ostensible cellphone hazard). Please pardon the avuncular theme of the message.

I will save "some" money - enough to probably buy that extra LOBSTER :liplick: dinner of three....as for the grounding - thanks for the "reminder" - next you'll be reminding me to make sure the cap is on tight!!! :eek:

Back in the days of case crisis in the early 70's I lost a class mate who was carrying extra gas in his car. He was involved in an acident and the can exploded. No a pretty sight.

By the way I have been told that a full can is safer than an empty because there are less fumes. It is the fumes that burn not the liquid.

I will be making the trek up to the BIG lake next weekend and will be doing the gas runs to get fuel for the GTX and boat 10-15 gallons at a time.

Please make sure the weather is nice I am sick of the heat here in NJ.

What the heck is"back in the days of case crisis"?

[Paugus Bay Resident]

Me thinks GTXRIDER meant "gas crisis"; remember it well ;) BTW, yesterday I noticed gas prices around the lake seem to have gone down a little.

[Coastal Laker]

I filled up on Wednesday at Lakeport Landing @ $2.40. Now I'm glad I did!

Sorry, :blush: typo

They are also down a bit here

[GTO]

last year it used to be $12 to fill up our jet ski now it is $24. :liplick:

It would be great if we had a thread just to post gas prices around the lake.
Would even be better if there could be a mechanism to show a table with all the fueling areas and current prices that could be input by forum readers as they get their fill-ups.

This could possibly pressure prices down some, who knows. At least it would help us find the best deals.

Was anything like this tried before.

[SIKSUKR]

Rattlesnake Girl had posted this earlier in the thread.http://www.boatnh.com/gasprices/ The cheapest fuel on the lake is always at Lakeport Landing.

[Orion]

Thanks....and sorry about the duplication.

Lakeport is a 12 mile trip so it's good to get a good spread.

Lakeport landing is listed as "0" octane...maybe that's why it's the cheapest ;)

[Knomad]

When comparing gas prices don't forget to subtract the 18 cent a gallon rebate. That makes $2.50 per gallon price on the lake $2.32. For 89 Octane, thats not too bad. In my book, for a few cents a gallon it is certainly not worth the risk of hauling it around in a plastic container. If you are in a marina, most do not allow you to fill from a container.
