Default It's not fuel prices that's going to kill the boat market

Gas may also do it. Took the boat out today, and filled up at $2.92 gallon
at Costco and put $99 in the boat. $3.19 for diesel and $75 for that this
evening.


You may want to look a bit further for the real problem:

as of yesterday, 87 octane at Sam's and Costco was $2.61

Anybody notice that as of today, the amount of oil coming out of Prudoe
Bay has been cut in half AGAIN? Sure seems a tad odd that when the
price per barrel starts coming down, a new problem arises to push it
back up!

Well, I wasn't going boating this week anyway. By next week it'll be fixed
and the price will be back to normal.
