Hate to bring up boating...

The average price is now higher than quoted in this squib: NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. average retail gasoline prices have reached a new high of almost $3.20 per gallon and will likely jump another 20 to 30 cents in the next month, worsening the pain of consumers struggling to make ends meet in an economic downturn. $3.22, according to CNN. This is going to have a major impact on almost all aspects of boating, I would guess. Ironic, because I was looking at a huge set of photos from the recent Miami International Boat Show, and almost everyone seemed to be offering ever larger boats, including many outboard models with three or four engines. Maybe that's why there is so much discussion here of guitars, stock car racing, television set, et cetera... :) I wonder if there will be a renewed interest in sailing? Exxon bought the wind. |
