What is the current cost of a gallon of marine diesel fuel?

Question

Just having a discussion of how much it cost Paul Allen to fill up his mega yacht Octopus ... it's capacity is 224,000 gallons.

Answer 1

Florida Keys around $3.83 Delivered>

Answer 2

Whoops!  I think Sleepydo has been sleeping too much...

    Although and while Marine Diesel and Auto Diesel are the same kind and grade of fuel they are never the same price...

    Typically, all Marine fuel (fuel you buy on the water - or at the Marina) is about 25% more (about $1.00 more these days) per gallon then what you pay at the gas pumps on land...

    However, you can bet your booty that the Octopus has to have it delivered and gets it directly off the tanker trucks...

    1, Octopus holds more fuel then most Marinas would have on hand.

    2. It would take forever to fill her up using the standard hose, nozzel, pump, that the rest of us use.

    Oh, they probably get some kind of volume discount - for sure -  but still, they pay (we pay) a lot more then we get it on land....

   At my marina (Galveston) today, it is $3.89 a gallon...   How would you like that bill on next months Master Card ?

   I can see the commercial now....

              Sunglasses   $150.00

              Sunscreen     $ 10.00

   Filling up the Octopus....  $1,000,000.00

    A ride in her submarine... PRICELESS

Happy & Safe Boating!

Answer 3

WHATEVER IT IS IT IS TO MUCH !!

Answer 4

auto diesel and marine diesel are same price. Some states allow tax right off for road tax since boat don't use road.

Answer 5

Capt John is correct that it is properly delivered to the vessel.  Price may be a bit off.  I order fuel for our vessel - they do not hold 224,000, bu they do hold just over 4000 gal.   Delivered to the vessel last week was with discounts $3.85 gal.
