GL: Fuel prices

[Steve and Regina Smith]

We live on the West Coast of Fl and traveled to Tampa Bay recently.  The 
best fuel prices we found were Ballard Oil at Ft. Myers Beach and Clearwater 
Beach Municipal Marina (Clearwater gives a $.10 Boat US discount).  Burnt 
Store usually has good prices as well but it is 9-10 miles from the ICW. 
Also, Marine Max is usually fairly cheap and it is located near Venice.
