4.50/gallon will certainly be a drag.. i can't believe how out of control its getting. I will sacrifce other things to get out however.

$97 to fill my truck the other day  I can't be letting the tank get that low again.
Heck ya it's effecting my fishing, I have fished more at the canal so far, but also I have not gotten to the Cape as much since the plovers ruled most of the beaches the past month or so, now I will get out there more only to now have to deal with mung and seals  if I can find bass. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Cut down on my trips dramatically. Especially with minimal fish in the canal. With the dodge it was 24 bux down and back. The GMC has it down to around 16 so not as bad. Last year I was averaging 3 trips down there a week. Now down to 1 maybe.

Mac, what size engine is in the new Mac mobile, 5.3, 5.7??
My 5.3L get 18mpg hwy...not bad for a truck with over 110K miles.
Put the bad boy on cruise at 70mph and the canal is only 1hr and 15 mins away for me......~ 100 miles 
Have not made any trips to the outer cape as I am limiting my fishing mileage to 100 miles one way. |

Almost 3000 miles since June @ $3.00 / gallon @ 18mpg
(3000/18)*3 = ~$500

I used to oun a Chev 3/4 ton that got an even 10MPG. Plowing snow, 10MPG, towing a 28ft travel-trailer, 10MPG. Empty, 10MPG.
It didn't matter, Highway, 10MPG, city, 10MPG. It was a 350cubic in.punched out to 380cubic inch. It would pull a house off its foundation. But, I still wish I had that truck.It had a 10,000lbs trailering package in it.

smallest v-8 GM makes. 4.8, they claim it has 295 HP  yeah right. I can get 20 on the highway if I keep my foot out of the equation. The dodge was only getting me 12 on the highway or less if I was in a hurry. |
