Default Speaking of high fuel prices,

I heard rumor (I can't confirm, nor deny) that gas is going to hit $4.
bucks per gal. by august.

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

CRAP!

In the news, when you hear that a barrel of oil's gone up in price, they
always follow that statement with a reason. Do you remember what that reason
is? To keep this thread less cluttered, the reason is not supply & demand.

Supply and demand.
Investment speculation that oil will be scarce in the near future due to
destabilization of the Middle East.

Your first idea, supply & demand, will *always* be a factor. Your second
reason is the one you could've done something about, and may still be able
to.

Ah yeah, give Israel tthe wink and let em go nuts
and put the smack-down on Syria and Iran ? If
thats all causing bad oil prices, let em get it all out
of their system.

Seriously, most of us are driving 4, and 6 cylinder
3, and 4L engines, and not doing it everyday, so
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.

The price of gas is on my mind every time I fill my car or my boat these
days. 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.
