I just wanted to no where everyone is at as far as fuel prices, what are they in your area an is the price of fuel destroying your summer from going boating as much as you would like to?! :poke:
 
Ouch

It took 8.2 gallons to top off the tank with 94 octane. Almost $ 35.00 Ouch! Yeah I think I'll probably be a little more careful with my right foot when I hit those smooth areas of the river.

Thats funny man a half tank in my boat is 145.00
 
I don't know what it was today, all I know is that the News said on Thursday that CT officially earned the right to the HIGHEST GAS PRICES IN THE COUNTRY.

This included beating ALASKA and HAWAII!

Unreal, but I still do what I have to do to get the boat outl

I refuse to let those sand dwellers control my life....even if I end up broke!

Probably not smart, but as long as I pay the mortgage, the rest is boat money.

If it keeps going up.I am going to have to replace my 200 with a 90..How fast do you think the starliner will go with a 90????LOL

I thought about the smaller BR,but with 6 in my family.it would probably not save me much...
 
its time like these that i am glad that my eluder has a 4cyl instead of a v-8

we can ussaly go on three sking trips without refilling the tank

daren
 
were about same as big red ,but it seems to always fluctuate here alot more than other places , 3x a week up down !
 
must be nice to go 3 trips on one tank... shoot if i get a half day on a tank i am lucky my rig likes the fuel. My diesel likes the fuel too, its hard to get the boat out when diesel fuel is close to 5.50 a gallon, it costs me about 200 bucks to go out for a weekend of "fun" even though i stress about the money i just spent for the weekend. But its worth it to see the honeys and my honey having a good time on the lake.:banana:
 
87 - is 3.98-4.06
93 - is 4.25 and on the lake I hear it is 4.75 a gal for 89
Diesel is 5.65 a gal
I won't be going to the lake as often, and the lakes around here have done away with pre-mixed.
 
ya i think i no where the cruising speed is i just dont like it, its too boring knowing that you have 20 mph left in her and i just want to open it up and blow be all the little jet ski screwing around and the wake boats thinking they rule the lake it too hard for me not to come up next to them and cruise then they hammer down and pull away then i hammer down and blow them away and see their faces it priceless:bounce: i do a lot more sitting now and watching boats then i do playing with fuel prices. :sleep:

Yep, I think us boaters sure do our part as far as keeping the economy going. (for me) It's not just the $100.00 per day for gas in the boat, it's the $40-50.00 of diesel it takes to pull the boat to the closest water (about 75 round trip miles away), then the 50.00 for a cooler full of drinks and food for the family, then the 150.00 yearly fee for the ramp membership where I put in. Going out on the boat for 1 day is generally a $200.00 deal,.......But, in the past 10 days, we've been on the water 6 of those 10! YEEHAWW ! And I'm not even on vacation yet!!!
