About Northwest Fuel Mate™

What it does

The Trip Fuel Calculator estimates how much fuel and money a trip will take based on your boat's cruise speed, fuel burn rate, and a reserve margin. Signed-in users can save a boat profile, plan a Cruise with multiple legs, log real fuel purchases along the way, and compare estimated vs. actual fuel and cost — never conflating the two.

The Fuel Prices directory and Fuel Map show current marina fuel prices across the region, with a freshness indicator (Fresh, Aging, Stale, or Unknown) so you can judge how much to trust a listed price before you cast off.

Where the prices come from

Every price shown comes from one of three sources, and every one of them is reviewed by a human before it goes live — nothing is published automatically:

• Automated research. A crawler checks marina and fuel-dock websites for published prices. Every result is recorded as a candidate observation and reviewed by an admin before it can become a live price.
• Direct data entry.Admins enter or bulk-import prices from primary sources such as a marina's own posted rates or a phone call to the fuel dock.
• Boater reports.Signed-in users can report a price they saw at the dock, optionally with a photo. An admin reviews each report before it's approved and published.

Prices are labeled Fresh within 7 days of verification, Aging from 8–30 days, and Stale after 30 days — always call ahead to confirm before you rely on a price, especially anything Aging or Stale.

See something wrong?

If a price looks out of date or wrong, sign in and use the “Report a price” link on that marina's page — every report is reviewed by an admin, and reports with better evidence (a recent photo, a specific date) are reviewed faster.
