Maybe that's why there is so much discussion here of guitars, stock car
racing, television set, et cetera... :)
Not really. We still have a several year supply of cheap diesel fuel to use
up on the GB if we keep it.
Unless I take it on a long distance trip, what we have will probably last 2
or 3 seasons of "normal" usage.
The real reason is because it' still as cold, wet and crappy up here.
Light snow in the forecast for tomorrow.

Yeah, it was 34F here when I took my leashed "outdoor" cat for a walk a
while ago. I told him it was too damned cold, but he was having none of it.- Hide quoted text -

I have to wonder about it. Last time the gas crunch hit, my little
boats went like wildfire.. so far this week I have had over 1000 hits
to my website, I imagine if I get healthy and put the order page back
up, it will go nuts as folks downgrade their gas usage.. An my boats
will have flotation so you can skimp without being stupid

I am in favor of boat "downsizing." I did it, but saving gas was not the
primary reason. Still, it is an appealing benefit. I burn a little more
than half as much gasoline at cruise with my F150 than I did with the F225.

I suppose the Lake Lanier boys will save a lot of money on gas this
year, because their boats will be on the hard. :)
