I am definately using the 14' tin boat way more then the 20' glass boat. So glad I did not get rid of it when I got the new boat 3 years ago. Paul

I used to be able to fill my truck on $20 and drive for a week!
Now it's going to take $20 to fill the tank on my ride on tractor to cut my grass!!! :mad:
As for my boat,
I may have to start acceping (or asking for ) gas money when I take friends out !!!
I have definately changed some of my ways by fishing inside Boston harbor instead making LONG runs just to go cod fishing for fun!!!

This is all a good start for us to become fitter as a nation. More walking less driving. :err:

Yep All ready had cut back now it will be even more. Good chance it will be only fresh water fishing this fall. Maybe one or two trips and that will be it. ThomT

drove home wednesday saw prices up into the 3.37 range.
passed a station that still had 2.79 and got in the 10-car long line to fill up.
got home, grabbed all the gas jugs I could find and headed to the local sta for 2.99 gas. would have cost me more to drive all the way back to that lone 2.79 station.

parked the truck and didnt go into the office Thursday or Friday - that saved me 16 gal. my truck has been gettin like 13mpg I really need a new one. I wonder if these gas prices would be enough to offset the payments...

I am already scraping money for the rebuild of the house.
Gonna start walkin to my favorite fishin hole.

$2.79 a gallon you guys are lucky, Down this way it's $3.29-$3.49 on the street and $4.00 at the marina, hell yeah it has halted my fishing....

Pretty much 3.50 here in VT

I haven't left the house in about a week, but I believe gas prices here are about $2.59 to about $2.80..Slowing me down? Nope, I take the bus. Although, if it wasn't so high, i'd be driving right now. :nailem: Stop me from fishing? Heck no. I can walk or ride the lawn mower down. :buds: The yuppies will hopefully be gone by tuesday. The markets even getting to expensive here, and we have to suffer the mark-ups :af:

It's all good, now I just need to catch something! :wavey:

--Kate

That station had 3.35 the next morning.

I paid 2.79 last Tuesday and 3.05 last night. 3.05 is the cheapest around
Salisbury around the 95, 495 ramps

no I will not let it interfair, I will stop buying coffee at DD'S and start to bring my lunch to work and stop buying plugs and tackle, but I will not stop fishing

I just paid 3.30 in P-town. They couldn't use the defibulator cos I was too close to the gas pump. They kick started my heart and I'm OK except for the scream I hear in my head. It has a Scots accent. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaach!

Update on todays price here.. $3.58 a gallon.... i gotta get out more...

it's like being in a TAXI Cab!
 

when you drive now............but instead of watching the meter run,
your watching dollars vanish as the fuel gauge needle races for the finish line of empty. :yak:

:bc:

Just got back from the Cape.

Gassed up here at $2.89 on Wed.

Got to Buzzards Bay, gassed up at the Citgo/7-11 at the end of Head of the Bay Rd for the same $2.89.

Stopped there for coffee on the way to the Canal, still $2.89.

Drove thru BB area. 3 no-name stations were all around $3.09. The Texaco at the RR bridge rotary was $3.41. No name next to Cumbies was $3.15, the Valero was $3.25, Citgo at Xtra Mart was $3.14, the Exxon at the Bourne rotary was $2.99 as was Sorenti's Shell at the Sag.

Next day--Citgo at 7-11 went to $3.29, the no names were $3.25, Citgo at Xtra Mart was $3.17, Exxon was $3.29, Sorenti's was up to $3.39 and the Texaco in BB was $3.41.

As of this morning---7-11 still $3.29 (which I gassed up at before leaving), no names all $3.25 (and, BTW, "cash only" no credit cards"), Texaco in town was $3.51, Valero was $3.25, Xtra Mart $3.41, Exxon $3.29 and I didn't get as far as Sorenti's.

Citgo at 7-11, $3.29. Citgo at Xtra Mart, $3.41---wassup wid dat :confused:

When I got back here, the cheapest I saw was $3.39 at Hess. The Exxon down the road was $3.79 :eek5:

Hess around the corner was 3.06. Ive gone through 75 bux and change from friday to just now. :yak:

What gets me with Hess is, they have several refineries in NJ that aren't affected in the least by the hurricane.

It definatly is starting to hurt, but all I need are 12 more weeks!!

it now costs me $85-95 to fill my truck....

unreal :walk:

I'll be doing a lot more walking this fall....

ABSOLUTELY !!!! At least Kerry doesn't own any oil companies or have any royalties coming from the Middle east to him.

Bush is all for having the price go out of sight, the higher it goes ... the more he makes, plain and simple.

And that clown he calls his VP is making a fortune on feeding the military in the Middle east.

So where does Bush and Chaney not feel the pinch of the high prices? They don't feel it, we pay for it and they collect on it ... I'm sure they feel real bad for us, they're crying all the way to the bank.

If any president needed to be shot it should be him, he can't even finish what daddy started and failed at in the Middle east, he's a loser just like his father was.

I am lucky enough to fish 99% of the time less than 5 miles from my house, so, for the most part fuel prices will not affect my fishing. I will still make a couple short adventures (200 miles round trip) this fall. It definitely helps that I have a diesel truck as I average ~20 mpg on the highway. While that is not great mileage these days as far as smaller car is concerned, it is good for a big truck that can carry all of my crap

I'll still make a couple weekend trips this fall, its tougher finding the free time with work. Its the kind of thing that if I didnt spend the extra 30.00 on gas now then I'd regret it all winter when its not possible to do.

Found $2.99 yesterday, Its sad when you start to consider $2.99 a "Good Deal" :doh:

In 2003 and 2004 I put over 200 hours on my engine each season, this year, only 40 hours. This sucks... :hs:

Price at the Pump
 

4.03 at Tripps yesterday
3.49 on Rte 6

$100.00 a trip to get my Maritime Skiff 21 in the water for the day.

New Fuel Gauge

All I can say is that I'm going to have to catch a lot more fish to justify the expense!

$ 3.89 per gallon as of today



:doh: :doh: :doh:

OMFG :behead:
