All gas stations up here including this one are about 30 cents more than down in civilization. Gas at the Marinas are about a dollar more per gallon than land prices. This store does sell a lot of gas to people towing boats!

This store is also a gas station with a cheap motel next to it. All with the same owner. They are close to boat launch ramps and marinas too. On holiday weekends they will raise their gas prices several times, like they are trying to see how high they can go before people stop buying it. Buying gas here on the water is nearly double the usual pump price. Not much competition. Huge lake and only a few places selling it. Environmental laws make it nearly impossible to build any more.
