[C320-list] Diesel price survey

[Warren Updike]

We were out for two weeks in May and paid $5.22/gal for diesel at Haven 
Harbor Marina on Swan Cr. behind Rock Hall.  I was shocked at that.  I 
noticed that they have a sliding price based on volume.  I forget what were 
the break points; but, is was way more than I would ever buy even if I 
pumped the aft cabin full of diesel.  Add that to the $3/foot marina with a 
$75 minimum and you can see why there are many fewer power boats on the 
Chesapeake these days.

I recently filled up at the marina and was just curious what other areas are 
paying for diesel these days.
Please list your area and price when responding.

Marina Del Rey, Ca    $4.96 per gallon

Kind of makes you glad you bought a sailboat. :)
