I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't gamble. I don't chase women except the one I've been married to for 37 years. So I spend a few bucks more on gas. I get 20 miles to the gallon. it's a 110 mile round trip to Narrangansett.
So let's see: 5.5 gallons per trip X $2.00 per gallon last year = $11.00 per trip
5.5 gallons per trip X $2.50 per gallon this year = $13.75 per trip
So it cost me $2.75 more per trip this year than last. I fish about 5 nights a week X $2.75 more per week = $13.75. I am sure that a sixpack must cost about that. Since I don't drink so that's my beer money.

No boat, back in the suds.
