How's the price of gas affecting your season ?

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

YIKES!!!

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.
