Petar, In Annapolis the price is about the same whether I go to the dock or the station. My local marina has a brand new above ground tank, so I'm reasonably comfortable buying fuel there. The nearby gas stations probably don't sell a huge amount of diesel. A neighbor who was in the oil industry does not trust any marina, so he uses jerry cans.
