Filling Gas in Naknek, December 2005

Yes, this means that 13.5 gallons of gas cost $57.98 ... gas was selling at $3.85 per gallon on this particular (cold, windy, and icy) day.

We aren't sure if this is because of added costs of barging fuel in from Seattle, or because we only have one supplier. Gas in the nearby (larger) village of Dillingham, across the Bay, is even higher.
