Here in Alabama it’s $6.49 at the marina and $4.99 on the street. Not too far from me is a junk yard for tractor trailers. Going to convert one of the big fuel tanks to a gas hauler and the local BP distributor says he’ll sell me non ethanol at wholesale next summer as long as I pay for 500 gal at a time… might work out.
My preferred dealer only does American Standard, which is the same as Trane. Goodman has a reputation for good warranties, low maintenance, and being cheaper. Also for being less efficient and louder. My dealer uses AS, because they can get them and the parts. The warranty is good, too. They have a lot of options. They are not the cheapest. But like buying our boat, the dealer was top priority, and that's why we bought it. They service everything in the area where we live with no questions asked, and I have always been able to get them right away. I paid about $1500 more for a minisplit in my garage just because of their service. Minisplits are so awesome. They are installing about 3 a week in homes now. Very quiet, very efficient, and cheap to operate, but they are not for every home. In my garage, the dog stays nice and cool with one. In fact, we couldn't get her to go outside this morning. Ha !
It would be my luck that it would go down to $2 if I bought a 500 gallon tank full. Lol
Oh yeah Wegmans is over priced but the food is so good to go in there and eat! We used to tear the one up in Fredericksburg! They had an Asian bar that was really good not to mention the subs and pizza! Ha! Hungry now!
I got the same advice and also went with the Goodman.
Good perspective.
Oh man maybe a good storm system/s will roll through Texas and replenish enough water so you can put your boat back in and finish up the season! When do you normally take your boat out?!?
That's about what it cost me if the tank is half full when I start. LolI filled my tank at the marina a few hours ago at $5.64 per gallon. Didn't sound too bad until I realized the fill up cost me over $155.
Boat stays on the lift year round, so the season "ends" normally late October when it gets a little chilly. Dallas has had 34 days now of no measurable rain and the 100+ degree temps each day is just eating up the water through evaporation. But yes, would love some water to be dumped to take it out again, sadly no rain in the 10 day forecast, just more 100 degree days. Oh well, that's life
Spent a lot of time in Richardson teaching, and I remember those long hot and dry periods. Also remember springs there looking off the hotel balcony at multiple tornadoes in my view off in the distance. I'll choose the heat. Lol
After our 90+ degree days we've been lucky to get afternoon thunderstorms to keep the lake replenished. We just had a good storm system go through this past Sunday. The water level went up a good 12 inches. We usually keep the skeg on the outdrive about a foot over the water on the lift. When we used the boat today the skeg was just above the water.
Really ? It's $5.79 today at our closest store. But it's 90 octane. Higher than diesel.
This was at our local QuikTrip....
