:bang_1 This is getting ridiculous. $3.60 in tville this morning. :smt011 I think we are going to have to start carpooling just to save enough to go fishing maybe once a month. That or invite more people and tell them up front to dig deep and pitch in. :o How has gas changed what you do? I think the only way to make it fair(not taking into acct that you make the boat payment and take care of wear and tear issues) Is to hit the gas station on the way there and fill the boat and truck up. Then stop at the same station on the way back and do it again and divide the gas cost. It's gonna take 3 or 4 people to make it affordable. :smt011

It is only going to get worse. I bet it will be 4 bucks a gallon by summer.

We had the wake up call back in the 70's but greed goes a long way.

Brazil - 100% foreign oil dependent free..... They use 100% ethanol cars.....

I fueled my truck up Friday morning $115.00 worth. They told me inside that they didn't take debit over $75.00, I asked if they syphon hose to get the $35.00 dollars out. Turns out they will make an exception when faced with syphoning their product out themselves.

Last summer I got a $180wk raise and now I cant even tell the difference. If it keeps going, I'll be worse off than before. Might have to put my Wife to work so I can go fishing :thumbdown:

Gulps are after all a byproduct of petroleum... at least in part. (Exclusive of transportation)
