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.

Fishing less than half as as much as I used to. Thinking about starting a fishing car pool club.

Fishing more this year than I have in the last 5 years. Keeping within 60 miles of home though. Mostly canal and SoCo. Outer cape doesn't exist in my mind anymore. Probably doing 3 trips/week at $40 per trip for gas and eels. Not too bad, there are worse habits.

Since I got the boat, it cost me a lot less to fish in the Bay than to run to SoCo. Yamaha 4 stroke is amazing on gas. I miss the pounding surf but don't miss the $22 for gas each trip.

Trying to save as much as possible without gas prices affecting my trips.
Pulling the boat every two weeks to fill up on the street. Figure saving about twenty bucks each time I fill. Fill the boat about ten times a season and it ads up.
How are doing Frank?
