Marine Gas Watch

Posts Tagged ‘marine gasoline’

Marine gas prices are affected by a wide variety of factors.  With the Fall and Winter seasons upon us, you can expect that both marine gas prices for wholesalers and retail will see a slight rise over the coming weeks.  While not every state may be affected by a price rise (some may even see some decreases), it’s important to remember that with the holidays and cold weather increasing the demand for petroleum, it’s inevitable that marine gas prices will be affected as well.

For many folks across the U.S., this time of year may mean an end of boating season as cold temperatures and the threat of ice and snow make boating a less than desirable option.  For these boaters, marine gas prices for Fall and Winter won’t be a point of concern.

For those boaters, however, living in warm weather states where boating is possible year-round, there remains the chance of some marine gas prices rising.  One positive bit of information to hold onto, though, is the knowledge that 2010 overall saw some of the lowest gas price swings in the last five years.  That may mean that if the trend remains the same for the end of 2010, there shouldn’t be any major price rises keeping boat enthusiasts from taking advantage of the beautiful boating weather in places like Florida, southern California, The Gulf Coast and the Caribbean.

According to Gassbuddy.com, last year at this time, regular gasoline averaged $2.64 a gallon.  Though we have seen an increase, currently the national average is $2.88, the increase is not a huge price change from a year ago.  In fact, gas prices have even fallen in some states like Arkansas and Missouri.
