US vs Canadian Diesel Price
With high exchange rates, diesel prices at the marinas in my location are cheaper in Canada this year. My marina is at 1.39/l CDN which equates to $5.26 cdn/US Gal. On the NY side at the cheapest place I know, diesel is at $4.52US which equates to $5.95 CDN. Never before have I seen the rates cheaper in Canada. Guess I will be filling in Canada this year for a change.

Hmmm, timing is good, have reservations Friday night at Clayton municipal marina. Called RJ, Diesel is $3.65 which is about 11 cents a litre (40 cents a gallon) less than the Canadian side.
Then again my diesel consumption is ridiculously low travelling at hull speed 99% of the time. My aux tanks are full to the brim and my mains are still at 2/3 of a tank. Been using the boat every weekend and that is all I used so far this year.

Re: US vs Canadian Diesel Price
Paid $3.09 for diesel in the Puget Sound. I tried hull speed with my 4137, but sometimes "I gotta need for speed"!
Previous owner says he tried to keep the aux. tanks low and run on the mains for better weight distribution, then again I have the D6-310A motors so probably a little under powered.
