I fill my truck up once per week...I fill my boat up once per month, for
about 7 months. Boating is one of our favorite family activities, and I
don't let the prices get me down. For guys like you Tom, that boat every
day...perhaps for a living, it's a much bigger hit. I think about it more
filling up my truck than I do filling up my boat. I use my truck for a
living.

Just my take, that's all.

Like you, Mike, my family boating won't be curtailed by gas prices, yet.
On the other hand, my costs of going to work each day, I have a long
commute, bridge toll, parking expenses, are hurting my bottom line.
Since GWB took office (just a timeline, not blaming anyone) my gas prices
have gone from 1.25/g to 3.25/g, bridge has increased from 2 to 5 and
parking has increased from free to 60/month. We're one of the lucky
families; we've been able to survive this constantly improving economy
with little effect on lifestyle, just less money saved or invested for
the long run.
Good God...we complain about paying $ .75 each way on our two suspension
harbour bridges. With a MacPass or tokens it drops to $ .60 each way.

Enjoy your $1.50 toll while it lasts; I sure miss those days!
