Rec gas prices???

[Scott Danforth]

I predict the price of sailboats will go through the roof

oars.....sails.....or viking ship full of slaves.....

Go figure, keep hearing folks talk about their truck getting 16 or less MPG. My 2500 diesel is averaging 20 MPG

Our regular gas jumped from $4.19 this morning to $4.39 this afternoon. That's up 80 cents in 4 days. And one station is charging $4.44.

As of yesterday it will now cost close to $150 to fill up my pickup. Pennsylvania has the highest tax on diesel East of the Rockies

 

[achris]

Wow! I dream of it being $4/gallon! In 'Straya it just hit $8/gallon, so stop ya whining!

If you price out coffee at your local " hot cup outlet "----You might find it to be ~ $20 / US gallon.-----Folks lining up every day.------Thing is you do not buy it in large quantities.

 

[QBhoy]

Think yourselves lucky over there in the US. We are about £1.70 a litre for petrol that works out at about $9.78 a gallon !!!

Price went up again last night. It's now 2.00/L CA, thats 5.90/Gal in US dollars. Glad I switched over to a four stroke outboard from that old mercruiser 165 I had. That thing liked gas.....

 

[KJM]

I'd like to get an electric pick up truck but they are VERY expensive. Out of my range for now.....

 

[achris]

.... Glad I switched over to a four stroke outboard from that old mercruiser 165 I had. That thing liked gas.....

They are both 4 stroke engines and will both burn about 0.4#/hr/hp... You went from one 4 stroke to.... another 4 stroke.

Technically true but the Mercruiser was a 1978, carburetor engine that may have been 4 stroke, but was far from fuel efficient. plus the engine and outdrive itself added considerable more weight. I saw a noticeable difference in fuel efficiency with the new setup, very noticeable.

Non-ethanol 92 octane = $6 per gallon. Oregon City OR.
92 octane you can pump directly into your classic car/truck. 87 octane you can't. It's only legal for recreational and tools.

 

[PaulinSWFL]

Propaganda….they sell fuel by the Liter and in Russian Rubles…not to mention most vehicles are diesel.

Currently 1 Ruble is worth 0.0075 cents USD

Exactly!

 

[PaulinSWFL]

No matter what the measurement is, a screwing is a screwing no matter what country you live in.

It appears to be by design. That's what makes it infuriating.

If I drive 15 miles one way our 92 rec is 4.89 as of today. In another month we will fill up 4 5gal containers for chainsaws, motorcycles, and boat. Fishing starts then and I only burn less than 10 gallons all year in the boat.

 

[alldodge]

I burn about 5 gal just making it to the main body of the lake

 

[dingbat]

Average morning..........burn 20 - 25 gallons in the boat and another 15 gallons in the truck going too and from.

Running offshore is an easy 100 gallon a day and 25 gallons in the truck

Time to go back to accepting "donations" from guests again.

I happened to be in California this week. Y'all need some gasoline

 

[tpenfield]

Look at the bright side though . . . Premium is only 6% more than regular

 

[Sprig]

I’m in California and regular 87 octane cheapest is about $5.50/gallon and up. My truck was at about a quarter tank this morning. Cost me over $120 to fill it . At marinas regular currently is between $7 and $8 per gallon. Its insane.
