Default Ft. Myers/Cape best place to buy gas

I'm looking for some help to see if anyone has any info where the best place is to buy gas around our area, it's pushing $5 bucks on the water and I want to make sure I'm not getting bent over.

Any help................thanks.

I come out further north of you. I'm near midpoint bridge. I use the shell up by 41 as its always 50 cents cheaper than the cape beach one. I have to run north a few mins but at that price it's worth it plus another nickel off for seatow. 90 non ethanol.

Think about using FMO sponsor A-1 Fuel, Jim. If your boat is on a lift they will pull up out front and drag a hose to your boat. I use them all the time. Better than marina prices and convenient to leave with full fuel. No time sitting at a fuel dock only to pay a premium price.

Ok just checked them out. Still $5.00 a gallon. That's $50+ extra for me. I'll keep using the marina I use. Thanks for the tip though Bob. If this one marina joins other mains prices I will use them!! Lol

Thanks guys, it does drive me nuts to sit and wait thirty minutes to pump 100-120 gallons of gas when the sun's burning down on you and it's hot out.

I've got a 160 gallon tank and usually try not to let it get below 1/3 empty.

At least back at LOTO most of the Marina's had cute bikini clad girls pumping gas, haven't seen anything like that down here yet, but that's OK, just want to do some winter time boating.

I'll give Mike a call at A-1.................thanks.

I paid 4.71 a week ago this last Saturday at the pump by Rumrunners, that's were we come out of and unless we were heading upstream the extra drive up and back would pretty much negate any saving that we would see, I wish there was something a little cheaper around us, but it seems that the Rumrunners stop has been the cheapest for us so far.

We're going to give A-1 service a shot and see how expensive and how that works out.

Thanks a bunch for the info, I appreciate it, if you ever see a all white Fomula out give a yell.
