Listening to the news tonight, & talking with someone who owns a gas station today, and watching the future players jump the barrell cost up, plus the fat cat's at the oil companies giving themselves obscene 400 million dollar bonuses, I think $4 will come very soon...this will also drive other retail costs up, due to increased shipping costs, I would also think anyone in business, will have to pass the increase along to the customer, too large a jump to absorb.... Somethings gotta give.. recreation, travel, playtime, God Forbid, Fishing? |
Yes at $4.00 My fishing habits will change. Thats just outright crazy. God bless anyone out there that can afford 60 or 70 mile round trips at that price.I will stay in the bay with my little four stroke and have clammer show me how to catch Schoolies!
Spoke to Steve about this today while fishing in Matunuck, he was telling me his trips will be cut in half if the price goes up to $3.50, I dont plan on nightly trips for dinks in south county the way I use to.
There is a point where something gives. Its 20 bucks for me to drive to matunuck and back and thats only burning 6 gallons
Cost me $69 dollars to fill up today in gansett..OUCH.........
