$6 per gall gas

Post by Redbelly »

When it reaches this price how will this affect your saltwater fishing?

I may learn the kayaking way.

Less trips, or overnight camping for 2 fishing days at the price of one in gas. No more solo trips from Jawja.

I think this is a real issue coming soon 'nuff. :smt010

I can work from home one day a week and make up the difference in the price. Add to that, planning errands and taking lunch to work instead of driving saves me money all around. I put about 40-50k a year on a vehicle no matter what the price of gas is. I have to drive. I burn less than 5 gallons of gas on a fishing trip in the boat...Is $30 per trip going to stop me....nope. I'm lucky, I can justify any gas I burn as a business expense so the gas in the truck on the trip back and forth is a wash.

Bh I am self employed too. I have to ride all over in my work also. I have already been cutting back on lunches out. Planning trips for multiple task instead just one..etc. My 40 4s is miserly on gas. It's the drive to the flats where I already see a $8 increase from last year per trip.
I guess part is the psyche job it does with the price increase going up so fast. My main hobby is fishing, and anything that may hamper that I will try to figure ways around it.

Just how do you think $6 gas will effect your business? :wink:
