We'll burn anywhere from 400 - 600 gal/ year ( ballpark ), if gas goes to 4 or 5 bucks a gallon it hurts, I'd have to look for my slips but last year I think I paid as low as $2.65ish/ gal. Which goes back to my original premise of cutting back.
If gas goes to 5/gal, a $1500/ year fuel bill almost doubles.

Some of us, even with boats in slips, are operating on a narrow margin to enable us to spend time on the water with family and when any of the associated costs almost double from 1 year to the next, it's a concern.

But hey, who knows, the oil companies seem to do this to us every so often, maybe these price predictions are bogus.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ...
show him where to fish and ... you'll be sorry
