I haven't used it yet, so I'm not sure how slow it is for the CC to go through on dial up. Maybe I'll make it over there in the next week or two if this heat lets up a little.

think i'll just fill up before i get to the river. $4.35

That price must surely be for the highest grade gas. It's my understanding that the high grade ($$$) is all that is sold there at the Y in Cropwell too....and I heard it was $4+ a gallon the other day.

I'm not sure just who is selling this gas at Riverside....whether it's the city or a private lease. I know the the city was given government grants to fix that old run down ramp up, and in turn they were not suppose to try to make money (profit) off of the general public. Any profits made are supposed to be spent right back into the maintenance / improvements over there. I know a few of those folks that are running things in Riverside now, and most of them are pretty honest I think. They'll probably do the right thing about stuff like this. I'm just proud that they've done what they have up 'til now......it gives us an alternate ramp that's a little more up river.

I guess I'll just keep running this 10% ethanol junk with plenty of marine stabil added to it and take my chances.

BTW----for those that ever use this ramp......keep your trailer tires on the ramp when you launch. Several have got in too big a hurry backing in and let there tires drop off to one side.....it's busted several of them.
