Thread: Lake Powell fuel grip

  1. #1

    Heading to Powell to do our annual housebaot trip again on sunday. We'll be there 7 days. I was looking at the fuel prices
    on Waynes site. Premium is $4.36 a gallon at halls fuel dock. It's likely to rise again before the weekend. Last yr it cost us almost $700.00 for my boat when gas was about $3.00 a gallon. Then we put another $670.00 in the houseboat which gets a lovely 1/2 mile to the gallon per engine. By the time I pay annual houseboat dues of $1800.00 all this turns into a pretty expensive week. Guess it's worth it, but seeing these oil companies line their pockets is getting harder and harder for me to swallow. Maybe i'll just leave the houseboat in the slip this yr.

    Barry I was only able to get super at the marina and in Page. So make sure you get a couple of cases of Lucas 105 to help with the octane problem!
    BTW, how the hell are ya?

    You are on the northend of the lake.. check out the airport at BF and see what they are charging for Ave Gas... Down lake it is in town, the Sinclair near the ramp and at the new Antelope Point Marina.. Dangling Rope has ton's of Octane Boost..
    Just wish we could get the "P.S" to ok putting in premium up there..

    Dangling Rope has never sold Super and never will. Antelope Point does in the narrows or Halls and Bull Frog at mille marker 93. Thank god our house boat has a 200 gal toy tank they put 91 in. Also it's a launch and retreive so they get land prices on all the gas.

    I don't think Bullfrog does 91 octane. If you're planning on doing the Dangling rope, get your octane boost ahead of time and take it with you. The last time I bought any (old boat) the boost cost as much as the fuel.

    Chase8,
    Don't know what engine you are running but if it's supercharged, do not use octane boost. I bring two five gallon jugs of 110 and use the fuel blending calculator here (http://www.ranney.com/~mjr/fuel_blend.html) when I fill up at Dangling Rope to get to 91 octane. It ends up cheaper than octane boost and the burn characteristics are better.
