Seriously, most of us are driving 4, and 6 cylinder

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.

Only in your mind Doug.

Enjoy your day and cheer up. ;-)


I'm in a great mood, Jimmy, except when I see people like you who cannot
connect the price of gas to anything you've personally done to create the
problem.
