I burn around 2.5 gallons/hour. So a couple of hours running the boat now costs me about $16. If prices double I will be out an whole extra $16. Big deal. The more I have to tighten my belt due to the rising cost of goods and services due to the rising cost of fuel, the more I consider the affordability of taking my boat out for a spin. Each of us has our own breaking point. You also have a small boat so start looking at it in real numbers rather than letting it ruin your day. It is the folks with the big boats who are taking the hit. |

I heard rumor (I can't confirm, nor deny) that gas is going to hit $4. bucks per gal. by august. Not only will that hurt (as in stab) the economy, but my boating will be pretty well done. for a while...... CRAP! You know how to fix the problem. Right? concerning boating, yeah, convert to steam. or a sail. concerning the economy? buy oil co. stock.... In the news, when you hear that a barrel of oil's gone up in price, they always follow that statement with a reason. Do you remember what that reason is? To keep this thread less cluttered, the reason is not supply & demand. Supply and demand. Investment speculation that oil will be scarce in the near future due to destabilization of the Middle East. Your first idea, supply & demand, will *always* be a factor. Your second reason is the one you could've done something about, and may still be able to. |

Do you get some sort of pleasure arguing with folks here everyday? I enjoy slicing you into pieces when you fail to listen. You said "start looking at it in real numbers". Bryan has already done that. He said "Each of us has our breaking point", a statement which is inarguably true, but you pretended it was not. Did you take your boat out this weekend Doug? What kind of boat do you have? I have a 14' Lund. It's been out twice since Thursday. We will leave the house again today around 5:00 to get in some fishing as the temperatures cool down. |
