irishfield Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Ice is off Inlet Bay at the marina... but main lake is still ice covered and it will be a good few days before lake travel is possible on Temagami.
irishfield Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Posted May 4, 2011 Ya can say that again Ben ! Mind you, I'm surprised Andre' has it that cheap considering Premium at the pumps in North Bay is $1.54/litre. So at $1.65 it's at the dock and guaranteed free of ethanol.
bubbles Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 I say give me regular and throw some ethanol in it and I'll give you 1.00/lt. Thieves
bushart Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Well I just got my boat back a while ago from the shop---carb trouble Said it's the ethanol in the gas---burn premium unleaded he said I take it that's why that sign on that pump
mercman Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 I predict a rise in "petroleum jelly" sales. sorry, but thats funny as hell
irishfield Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Posted May 4, 2011 Temagami marine has sold only Premium fuel as long as I've been on the lake. Adding "ethanol free" helps comfort those with sticker shock!
Spiel Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 sorry, but thats funny as hell It would be hillarious Paul if it wasn't without some level of truth......
aplumma Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 I predict a rise in "petroleum jelly" sales. I knew you Canadians were real smart y'all figured out how to get your boats to run on that stuff. Art
HTHM Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 I thought you were refering to the Tracker on the pier.
grt1 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 I got 2 cruise a days filled today in town with regular gas, 10 gallons = $66. then you add in 8.95 for the oil and 9.99 for the seafoam . Certainly isn't going to be a cheap year to run up and down the lake. I'm not looking forward to the 40 gallon fillup on my big boat.
asdve23rveavwa Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Other than our trip up north in late August, and, musky opener next month, definitely staying alot closer to home this summer. Yikes
solopaddler Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Sorry Wayne no sympathy from me. The marina on my lake in N/W Quebec has averaged $2 a litre for the last 3 years. Cash only, no credit. It's owned by bikers and you don't want to mess with them. I made the mistake once of buying gas there. Never again. Now I'm forced to drive into town and fill a bunch of jerry cans. Huge pita.
irishfield Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Posted May 4, 2011 Not looking for symphathy Mike.. figuring my boat won't make it to the lake this year anyhow! I guess there's a good side to that now...
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) If you want to get rid of ethanol in your fuel just move to the far North!!! I have been told (from several sources) that there is no ethanol in any of our fuels up here in the NWT. :thumbsup_anim: In Alaska there are ethanol pumps but they are all well signed as well. I think a lot of my open water fishing is going to be out in the baby boat with t 4hp on it. Edited May 4, 2011 by DRIFTER_016
Spiel Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 I predict a rise in "petroleum jelly" sales. To make it even more inane keep in mind that "petroleum jelly" is a byproduct of oil production.....double whammy!
misfish Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Maybe I,ll stick with the cuddy and buy a kicker and plate,maybe even some riggers. The thoughts of a bass boat with a 150 just went for a crapper.
aplumma Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 The only reason the oil companies would use petroleum jelly is to help the sand stick.... i'm just sayin Art
mercman Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 To make it even more inane keep in mind that "petroleum jelly" is a byproduct of oil production.....double whammy! Now starts the quest for alternative lubrication....."SIGH".
bushart Posted May 4, 2011 Report Posted May 4, 2011 Reminds me of dat ole sayin Out of the night came a terrible scream---who put the sand in the vaseline?? Just sayin
