 ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 8, 2011 – With fuel prices high, those with bigger boats or long-distance cruisers are asking, “Where did you get your fuel?” BoatUS members, through an exclusive partnership that saves them 20% on an annual membership with MarineFuel.com, can easily comparison shop online and locate the lowest gas or diesel prices when they need to fill their large tanks. MarineFuel.com special membership pricing for BoatUS members starts at $143 annually (including the discount).

 
Prices are updated by participating marinas, fuel docks and MarineFuel.com staff. MarineFuel.com’s on-demand fuel pricing service guarantees to provide accurate prices for a specific area within a specified time, which can range from four, eight, or 12 hours depending on the membership level. Contact MarineFuel.com with their “request price updates” feature in the morning and they will have the most up-to-date, real-time pricing for the marinas and gas docks in your boating area by the afternoon.
 
BoatUS members with a MarineFuel.com annual discounted membership can also search over 2400 gas docks in the US, Bahamas and Caribbean for ethanol-free gas locations, octane ratings, premium additives and preferred brands, such as ValvTect fuels.
 
In addition, MarineFuel.com offers BoatUS members a “Fuel Bid Desk” where boaters with large vessels can request lowest price bids on fuel via MarineFuel.com’s Concierge Brokerage Service. Once you create your bid, MarineFuel.com shops for quotes and to secure the lowest possible price, and the fuel is delivered directly to your vessel. Prices are typically well below most competitors because of high volumes and low online operating costs.
