Default Re: Gas Prices ?????

My bet it will be $3 a gallon by the end of the year or in the spring right before folks think about gettin them boats back out on the water and takin vacations.

Fuel cost will hurt alot up north as well that rely on fuel oil for heating... I know it affected my bud in Mass. last year, they havent done so good buisness wise this year, cant imagine what he might face this winter. I told him,, "move south".

Wont be long... $3 a gallon....

I just feel bad for the folks who are tryin' to get by...makin' a decision whether to buy food or gas to get to work would be a tough call...guess all the oil-rich and the politicians in their pockets couldn't care less... :( >:(...

Crime rate'll probably go up as people get more desparate...thinkin' about puttin' a hasp/pad-lock on my gas flap... ::)...

Just got in from Emerald Isle NC and the Reg. Fuel there was $2.57 to $2.61. The Marina was cheaper though at $2.43.

GW must have his hands in the Pot for the Electric Car Dept. Too.

Speaking of Crime rate. Next thing people will start the siphoning of gas out of other people's cars again, just like the gas rationings. Better buy stocks in locking gas caps. Plus one for you own too.

Saw $2.59 at Cherokee NC this weekend. Drove a mile around the corner and found $2.41. :-/ Never would'a thought $2.41 would be a "good" deal. :o

I paid 2.899 for 89 oct. at a marina here in NC this weekend . It sort of takes a little of the fun out of boating .

60 gal. I figured if the oil and gas tank were empty I'm looking at over $200 ! I never thought that I would be able to afford a boat that held that much gas...
