Seriously, most of us are driving 4, and 6 cylinder
3, and 4L engines, and not doing it everyday, so
its _not_ really hurting us like you may think it is.
But Semi Trucks don't and they struggle to get better than 6 mpg.
Not
counting all the fiberglass, plastic, and that you wouldn't imagine
being made out of petroleum.
it all leads to prices going up in every comodity.
" Huh " ?
...The guy was talking about "what to do about his boating"...
The price of gas is on my mind every time I fill my car or my boat
these
days.
Not me. There is nothing you can do about it. I burn around 2.5
gallons/hour. So a couple of hours running the boat now costs me about
$16. If prices double I will be out an whole extra $16. Big deal.
The more I have to tighten my belt due to the rising cost of goods and
services due to the rising cost of fuel, the more I consider the
affordability of taking my boat out for a spin. Each of us has our own
breaking point.
You also have a small boat so start looking at it in real numbers
rather
than letting it ruin your day.
It is the folks with the big boats who are taking the hit.
So, you're intimately familiar with Bryan's budget, and you think he's
silly
to imagine that the price increases impact him in any way.
Do you get some sort of pleasure arguing with folks here everyday?
I enjoy slicing you into pieces when you fail to listen. You said "start
looking at it in real numbers". Bryan has already done that. He said "Each
of us has our breaking point", a statement which is inarguably true, but you
pretended it was not.
Did you take your boat out this weekend Doug? What kind of boat do you
have?
I have a 14' Lund. It's been out twice since Thursday. We will leave the
house again today around 5:00 to get in some fishing as the temperatures
cool down.
