Default It dropped as fast as it rose!

Looks like some skullduggery going on too! Evidently one stations
supplier was flinging on speculation so he shot his pumps up and the
other four stations in the small town did too. Obviously people saw a
"panic" and started doing a run on the pumps with lines and crap

The other small towns around were still at $2.97-$3.00 all thought the
day. Now the stations in town have dropped back down.

hmmmmm. I think there's giong to be some investigation over this. or
at least, I'd hope so.

As it is for us all.

IMO, it's a matter of discretionary dollars and priorities. Nobody
should ever consider taking up boating if it means that the kids won't
get a college education or that there won't be money to take care of
aging parents or provide for personal retirement.

Again IMO, once the "must do's" are handled and the money left over
gets apportioned to
"want to do's", some people will spend a very high percentage on
boating while others may spend only a few of the discretionary dollars
on boating while prioritizing golf, international travel, or collecting
things like antique cars instead.


Well, it didn't wait till august around ehre. Gas shot up a buck over
night. at the pumps it's now $4.06 per gal.

This sucks!


At gas stations, or marinas???
