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

at Costco and put $99 in the boat. $3.19 for diesel and $75 for that

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


Damn, that's cheap. It's $3.01 down here.

And $3.79 on the water.




$3.82 one place on the water. Where I launched was $3.57 and he said it is
cheapest on water in the Sacramento Delta.
