GL: Florida East Coast Fuel

[George Hechtman]

The aforementioned fuel dock in Fernandina is called Florida  
Petroleum. Just past R"10". Nice folks, very high speed pumps so most  
pleasure craft need to have them set it up for a lower speed setting  
(which they volunteer  proactively to do). The city marina further  
south stays fairly competitive.

In Fort Pierce, Port Consolidated ; aka Port Petroleum, is a little  
hard to find. They sit at the end of a little cove, barges on the  
south side; look for the large empty frame of an old Gulf station  
sign to the west in the charted 23 ft niche in the turning basin just  
south of Fl gr  "187", If the guy is in the office, he responds to  
channel 10. "John", who fueled us up was extremely helpful and nice.

Further south in the big metro areas, Port Consolidated and several  
other, such as Anchor, run trucks, equipped with long hoses to  
marinas that allow them. There is usually a 100 gallon minimum with a  
variety of volume discounts.

One advantage to all the above is that you are guaranteed to get  
fresh fuel due to the high volume (or straight off the truck, for  
that matter).

In Marathon, for 500 gallons+, Pancho's fuel dock is about 7 cents  
less than Marathon Marina, 3 cents more for under 500.

Be sure to ask for price with tax and what the volume discounts are.
