Not only will that hurt (as in stab) the economy, but my boating will
be pretty well done. for a while......

CRAP!

Look for a dramatic moderation in prices immediately after Labor Day.
Then expect further notable decreases through the first Tuesday in
November. After that, hang on Matilda- I think she's a gonna blow. $5
by next Memorial Day, or $6 a the fuel dock. Just my pessimistic
opinion- I could be wrong and I sincerely hope that I am.

Can you slow down or stay a bit closer to home port to save the fuel
you feel you'll need to save to keep on boating


Just bought a 3 gallon tank to replace the defective 6.5 gallon tank for
my outboard. Should save/help in two ways...I always had a 1/2 a tank
left at the end of the season with the 6.5 gal tank and if I should run
out while on the water, using the oars should help reduce this expanding
middle that advanced age has brought on. Plus I'm finding it more and more
difficult to carry 6.5 gallons of gas down the hill to the boat dock.

If you row in the same fashion as competitive rowers, it'll do good things
for your back muscles, and you might be able to lift a bigger gas tank
easily. :-)
