Default Re: Gas Prices ?????

Dont sell that boat just yet.

Just got off the phone with my bud in Alabama, works at Sanders Trucking (pretty large outfit in 'Bama)

News is from they're news flashes, that fuel prices will go down as the Centenial pipe line was back up today from 30% flow up to 68% capacity. (pipeline that moves avaiation fuel, gasoline, diesel, etc...)
The pipeline runs from Texas all the way up to New York state and supplies most if not all the fuel for the East Coast.

They got electricity and repairs done to the pipeline and predict it will be back to almost 75% by this weekend (100,000,000 gallons a day flows thru this pipeline)

It's noted that fuel costs should subside by next weekend.

When I get the email, I'll post it here for ya guys to read.
Sounds like this weekend might suck for travel/fishin and all that, but relief should come by next week and they're fully expecting to get the pipeline back to 100% capacity soon.

That should buy time to get the refinery and supply process moving again and offloading of crude. Apparently, it's top priority from what's said to get the cost down to avoid 'panick'.

John's got pretty good sources for this info and I trust it... might not burn alot of fuel during this weekend and will keep it to a minimum and see what transpires next weekend.

DONT SELL THAT BOAT JUST YET!!!

what's funny is, new boat sales might take a huge hit. Doesnt look like anyone will be in the "buying" mode on new boats. That right there might of increased the value of the used boat market. With all the talk of people sellin, it will definately be a buyers market. Now's a great time to upgrade to a larger boat.... thing is.. they come with bigger fuel tanks!!!


But who knows... maybe down the road we glass parkin lot the middle east in the name of allah and gas goes down to .30 cent a gallon.... but probably not....

Say NO to Maco... dont sell just yet brother.. looks like a little light in the tunnel may be comin.
