Marathon Gas at Pinellas Plaza

[patfla06]

Anyone know if Marathon has opened yet?

[alwann]

I was down by there today. My guess is they'll need another month.

[villagetinker]

Yes, I agree, lots to be done, I do not think the tanks are in yet.

[patfla06]

Thanks!

The tanks are in. We saw them doing it about 2-3 weeks ago.

TANKS AGAIN:bigbow:

[e-flyer]

Definitely not TV construction crews, it was suppose to be opened by the end of May according to the original article in the Daily Sun. I'm guessing sometime in July. :MOJE_whot:

Tanks may be in, but I believe the poster was referring to the pumps and no they are not in. Hope they have an old time look 'cause what I saw today it looked to normal for TV!

[billethkid]

hopefully this will be one of Marathon's locations that will have non alcoholic gas available....(usually 90 octane or higher).

Just going from what was posted, not what was inferred.

[Cantwaittoarrive]

Not open yet

Yes, non-ethanol will be sold.

[Shimpy]

They will be busy when they are open and..........I can guarantee the Shell at Colony will either have to lower their prices or go out of business.

You mean again, Les?

[Ecuadog]

Yes, non-ethanol will be sold.

I hope so. This is great news for owners of gas-powered golf carts and those owners of boats with outboard motors.

[LeeM]

Is a golf cart gas station also supposed to open at LSL? Or did it already?

[eremite06]

It's still under construction.

[buzzy]

Yes, non-ethanol will be sold.

Only non-ethanol? I hope not.

I recently saw a station like that in Palm Beach Gardens, and his gas was 30 cents more per gallon than the others. Might be better for carts, but why put it in a car?

Better gas mileage as well as engine performance.
Some stations that elect to carry non ethanol gas choose to do so at the higher octanes for obvious $$ reasons.

For another thread one day but eventually we the people will demand our government do away will the ethanol requirement as it has been proven to provide NONE of the environmental benefits projected (big surprise).

Excellent news that non ethanol gas will be available there!!

I am sure that it will be an option at a separate dispenser ... like the Marathon location off I-75 at Lake Panasoffkee.

[mulligan]

The state of Florida has already done away with the ethanol requirement. As I see it though, the refineries may have a problem supplying gas with and without, and may need to get more states on the same page.
