The gas factor

[outfished]

I'm still driving the truck as much as usual and fishing probably more than ever. But what I have done is borrow/stay at friends homes near the ocean and basically get to stay there for free instead of paying for hotels like I've done in the past. Either way, gas prices bite but I shouldn't complain too much, my Dad in Canada is paying $4.00 per gallon

When I drive my fishmobile, it takes a half a tank to get to the Cape and back -- 3 hours round trip. So there's $12. Some days I wish I had a bigger car, but the gas mileage rocks on my little Escort. Adding up the fast food and gas station snacks and new toys from the tackle shop, I'd say I spend under $50 per trip. I wouldn't be too upset if it costed more, though. Money is no object to me, as long as I can pay my bills.

I paid $3.15 a gal at Brewers Marine in Plymouth last Sun. for gas in my boat,
The most i have ever paid for gas in my life!!!
But i got a good up close veiw of the Mayflower and Plymouth rock while I filled up!!!
If memory serves me, gas was around 85 cents when I first got my drivers lic.
I miss those days of spending $5 bucks to fill the tank in my car!!!
