Price of Gasoline

Cheers,

Gasoline costing what it does; and boaters being as frugal as they are:

Could we convince our (already overworked

) webmaster to set up a spreadsheet listing each marina and their current fuel prices. Nothing too fancy; just three columns: Marina Name, $/gallon, Date. Something quick, easy, specific to Lake Winnipesaukee, and ad free.

I'm not sure how we could keep it updated. Perhaps have people email their cost experiences to a volunteer who will be responsible for 'seperating the wheat from the chaffe' & updating the spreadsheet. If webmaster sets it up, I'll volunteer if no one else wants the job.

Some organization does a similar thing for home-heating-oil in New England.(I'll add the link as soon as I can think of it)( got it: ww.newenglandoil.com) It works well, is kept up to date during the heating season, and shows that not all oil retailers are created equal; a fine service to the consumer.

If I'm off base here, let me hear it ... I can take it. jhr
