I hold 135 and it lasts me about 2 weeks of puttering around give or take. (no long distance runs)
Gas the same here at the dock or at the street. About half the time I gas up at Famouth dock which is about the same as here but the fuel is better. I figure I will use the boat less this year and not run as far which is very disappointing because that is half the fun for me...getting to know distant spots better. Trailering too much of a pain and it will get more and more ugly at the ramps as more and more people do it.
Cape Cod boating is going to take a serious blow this season.
I heard from a friend from New Bedford...boat came in with a load fish ( I think he said 28,000#) ...after refueling, crew made zero and capt lost 4K. How much longer do you think that will go on for?
Time to drill in Alaska.

the annoying thing is, a "turn around" will not bring gas prices down. it will just stop them from increasing.
it drives me crazy when i hear someone say. "oh gas is only $3.10, that's cheap!"
That's NOT CHEAP that's just less expensive than $3.50!!
the bounce in prices fools people into thinking when they lower 25 cents that its cheap again.  |

Unfortunately drilling in Alaska won't change the price of a barrel of fuel. Allot of Alaskan oil goes to Japan, eliminating Alaska overseas export again won't change the price per barrel. It is all supply and demand......that big s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g sound from China modernizing is the main reason for the high price. China is more of a reason for high prices than the GWOT.
Everyday they drill new small oil wells in Texas, this doesn't change the price. They just drill because the price is so good. If the price dropped to $50 a barrel they would shutdown allot of wells for they aren't profitable enough.

Very true.
One thing it is doing is making them drill deeper, less profitable wells, because right now they are profitable. Recently the soon to retire Shell president, when asked about Alaska, said 'Screw ANWAR, we want to drill offshore on the North Slope' That is a decent enough source, but I think the choke point still lies at the refinery. Right now they can drill it, they can't refine it... |
