Oil prices have dropped to like $96 a barrel, hope it reflects on the water soon.

wow thats highway robbery. I have never understood how the marinas can charge so much? it doesn't cost them any extra to get it.

If anyone isn't aware, gasoline has a highway use tax of $0.20/gallon in Texas. since boats put no distress on the highway (unless something goes horribly wrong) you are entitled to a refund for the hwy tax. You just have to fill out some paperwork. Not worth it for a small fill up but when a gas run is 150 gallons....

Here's the form
