GL: Fuel on Mississippi River.

[ALloyd217 at aol.com]

News Alert!
Kidd River Fuel is no longer serving gasoline at the Cape Girardeau fuel  
dock, (Upper Mississippi Mile 52).     Charlie Brown, the  owner, says it just is 
not worth his while, he only had 15 boats stop by this  year, also the 
mandate to add 10% ethanol causes additional problems for  him. 
 
What this means is a run of 253 miles from Hoppies to Green Turtle Bay,  so 
be prepared.
 
A transient dock is in the works at Paducah (Ohio mile 934) which will  
reduce the leg to 205 miles, but that will not be complete until Fall 2009.
