Their "current" survey is August 29.
While by no means complete, Active Captain's fuel prices are very useful. They currently show prices in Washington from $1.75 to $3.45.
I've also used having fuel prices available to negotiate. For instance, we're going to a marina we really like. We are going to need a large quantity of fuel. We see the marina that we don't like as well but only half a mile away is $0.50 per gallon less. We're just honest and say that we don't want to go there for fuel so is there anyway they can come closer. Most of the time that's led to substantial discounts although not matching and we've purchased there.
Around home, we use fuel delivery 95+% of the time.
