 |
|
Holy Molly!
Here we go again! 
For many people this is going to be a serious burden!
With gas prices climbing so rapidly and predicted to go at or over $4.00 per gal. soon -> I suspect that many fishermen will be staying and fishing closer to home.
Traveling just to fish will cost more $$$$$
Towing your boat will require more gas thus more $$$$$
Since boat motors use more gas then land vehicles per distance, more $$$$$
Then there are all the other fees, licenses - launching - cost of bait - gear - etc., more $$$$$
All I can say is -> be ready to pay 
And that's only so we can enjoy fishing never mind the daily need for gas!
When the cost of fuel goes up -> Everything costs more 
Crazy! -> I'm only 63 but still remember as a kid, gas being only .27 9/10 cents a gal.
And when in my 20's had a Plymouth Road Runner -> Didn't cost much to run that baby @ .33 9/10 cents per gal!

Same thing happened last year it sucks!!! In 2008 when I was 18 in December I paid $1.61 for a gallon of gas maybe with the new pipeline coming in from Canada and Montana it could happen again

| Yeah this is really going to put a damper on boating for sure. It's not going to be cheap again until they innovate an alternative to the combustion engine. Maybe well be flying soon enough |

They are saying it will hit $5 by summer but they said that last year also and I think luckily it only made it a little over $4, stayed there for a little and then dropped back. Hopefully it will just be that again!!!

Be careful what you wish for, PHS. "Alternative energy" is NOT always a good thing.  The government used to subsidize ethanol production from corn and continues to subsidize its production from cellulose. That's why it's in our gasoline now. I wonder whether anyone has calculated the cost of the damage done to our fuel systems and engines by ethanol. Not good.
