Re: gas prices pissing me off how about you

At current gas prices, I'm at $100 to $200 to fill, depending on whether or not the aux tanks are installed. If it is proved that there have been shenanigans in the crude markets, I hope some folks go to jail!

Re: gas prices pissing me off how about you

last fill up was 220 dollars at 4.40/Gln. bites but all I can do is pay it.
I run my boat to work, about 15 miles ech way.
takes the same travel time by boat as by car and uses about 1 gallon of fuel more than the truck.
if I keep the F150 at about 3600 the speed is about 28 MPH and I burn about 6gal/hr according to the flow meter. jack it up to 41MPH at about 5400 the flow meter shows 14.4/hr so I spend a lot of time at 3600

I have a 12 gallon tank * 3.80/gal = around 40 bucks.

This oil price bubble will burst soon. One way you can help it burst is to minimize your use of gasoline and diesel.

Haven't suffered the pain yet. 30 gallon tank. Don't want to drop it below half a tank. 15 gallons at $4.00/gallon - 60 bucks.

Now when I figure out how to get skiing again, that cost is bound to jump.

I'm an hour and half from the nearest lake. Round trip to tow my 2008 Bayliner 185 with the 3.0 liter is 10 gallons. Figure 10 to 15 gallons used in the boat all day. $100.00 trip each time I go out and I try to go out once or twice a week. Thank goodness for that stimulus check. It is buying boating gas. Once that's gone I'll still go out but will be doing more floating than boating.
