[NOTALENT]

shit..im not even sure if my boat is going to run this weekend..but I may fill it up right now anyways.... :jawdrop:

[Magic34]

If super unleaded is over $3.75 per gallon, I'm cancelling my trip. I cant do anything to fill up the boat until tomorrow.
At $3.75 that would make regular around $3.55. We'll see, AZ is usually a dime less than CA.

You guys crack me up. Big baller rig like that and you are cancelling your trip :rolleyes: What's an extra $100 or so in gas gonna do? Go and have fun, no worries. You only live once.

You know how it works, Get the rig and such, but can't afford to run it. LOL Kidding dude.

[SnakeWrench]

ok, what time is good?
12's good.

[SnakeWrench]

Wait a minute. How much is beer per gallon. I believe it's a hell of a lot more than gas per gallon, but I never hear you guys crying about your beer being a buck more.

[Throttle]

I am going to work tomorrow and dont get off until friday morning, then I gotta go to la, so I think thats do-able. c ya then.

[SnakeWrench]

Sounds good T. Let me know if anything changes.

[Dusty Times]

You guys crack me up. Big baller rig like that and you are cancelling your trip :rolleyes: What's an extra $100 or so in gas gonna do? Go and have fun, no worries. You only live once.
$100 would give me .1212121 of a tank of fuel if it hits $3.30 per gallon.
Do I wake the family up to the sound of hooking up the boat?
I'm thinking about it! Or maybe not :sleeping:

[Outnumbered]

$100 would give me .133333 of a tank of fuel if it hits $3.00 per gallon.
Do I wake the family up to the sound of hooking up the boat?
I'm thinking about it! Or maybe not :sleeping:
I said $100 extra, not $100 total. 250 gallons x .40 cents is $100.
I was thinking about filling mine up tonight and figured that 60 gallons would only cost me $24 more tomorrow. Not worth the hour plus it would take to pull the boat out and fight for a place in line at the gas station tonight.

[Kilrtoy]

Yeah but Im not drinking 100 gallons an hour

[Dusty Times]

I never thought I would say it but it doesn't look so bad to own a PWC instead of a boat with gas prices like this.
Anybody want to buy a boat with an empty gas tank? :cry:

[Rexone]

I normally dont type in caps, cause it is considered yelling, but...
THIS IS ****ING BULLSHIT, WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP?
It will stop when people stop using so much gas. (not anytime soon).

[Brooski]

Oh thats just great, thanks... I will go fill up, I ran outa jack anyway!
WHAT???? A true jack drinker would never run out.....
I am ashamed of you!! :frown: You may as well start drinking Captain.

[Outnumbered]

Or better yet, it will stop when the libs let us tap into more of our own oil in Alaska, then we won't be at the mercy of OPEC.

[Throttle]

this could be true :rolleyes:

its never happened before but I took a bottle to a friends the other day and... well you guess. it did not make it back.
i promise, I will not alow it to happen again! now that I have some in da house I will have to wait till friday to have any more!

[Throttle]

[Dusty Times]

I suppose people are going to drive longer and run their boats longer between oil changes too? :hammer2: :)
We're going to quit eating so damn much because the price of food has increased as the transportation for food delivery has gone up. I'm not going to mow my grass anymore, I'm going to hire sheep (or let our horses graze on the front lawn). I'm not going to cruise the hood in the golf cart...matter of fact I'm going to trade it in on an electric cart.
I can't wait (tongue in cheek) to see how this affects SUV sales.
Of course this from a moron who's on the fence and halfheartedly attempting to sell one of his trucks. I'm glad I'm in a financial position that I don't have to sell anything.

Snake, doesn't this increase kill the oil company statements, that it takes aprox. 30-60 days to feel the impact of a certian catastrophy on the consumer end? If so, why are we having this coversation now and not around the end of the month? -Chris

hmmm.. gas is the same price this morning as it was last night for me. you sure about the .40 overnight??

[Vada]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Topock Junkie]

Every time i fill up now I want to punch the guy behind the counter. It really gets me going when I see the guy on the ladder raising the prices .10 at a time. I just want bump him off the ladder.

[Powerquestboy]

Well gas in my neighborhood here in AZ only went up about 4 cents. The news scared everyone into thinking there is a gas shortage so everyone was filling up and now many stations are sold out until todays trucks come so that is freaking even more people out. Morons! THere is no way this hurricane could have started a gas shortage in a few days, those oil rigs in the gulf arent pumping that Sh#t straight to the stations!

KATRINA'S RISING TOLL
$3 Gas Is Likely in a Matter of Days
By James F. Peltz and Dana Calvo
Special to The Times
August 31, 2005
Ripples from Hurricane Katrina could deliver $3-a-gallon gasoline by Labor Day weekend to California and across the nation as most of the Gulf Coast petroleum industry remained closed Tuesday, pushing wholesale energy prices to new highs.
Fearful of shortages, traders in New York furiously bid up prices of crude oil, gasoline, natural gas and heating oil as grim images poured in of severe flooding and other extensive damage to the oil-rich area.
In the Gulf Coast region, which accounts for about one-quarter of the nation's production of oil and natural gas, 95% of the oil output and 88% of the natural-gas production remained shut down, according to the U.S. Minerals Management Service, an arm of the Interior Department. Several gasoline refineries and pipelines were still out of commission.
The stunning surge in futures prices will soon spread across the nation, analysts said. That includes California, where prices at gasoline pumps — already averaging a record high of nearly $2.81 a gallon for self-serve regular — should keep rising in the wake of Katrina's devastation, they said.
"The storm is going to cause gasoline prices in California to go up," said David Hackett, president of Stillwater Associates, an oil consulting firm in Irvine.
California doesn't import much gasoline from the East because of strict air-quality standards. Even so, the state's prices are heavily influenced by swings in prices for oil and gasoline futures contracts traded on commodities markets, he said.
And there was speculation that energy companies and traders might export California fuel to the Gulf states to cash in on prices that for once were higher than those in the Golden State.
Crude oil accounts for about half the cost of gasoline, and the U.S. benchmark grade of light crude for October delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange surged as high as $70.90 a barrel before closing at $69.81, up $2.61.
It was the highest closing price since oil futures began trading on the Nymex in 1983, breaking the previous record of $67.49 a barrel reached Thursday. If adjusted for inflation, prices are still below the $90-a-barrel level reached in 1980-81.
Gasoline for September delivery on the Nymex skyrocketed 41.39 cents, or 20%, to $2.475 a gallon. The rally was so frenzied that, after prices had jumped 25 cents a gallon, the exchange halted trading for five minutes to let the market cool. But after trading resumed, prices shot even higher.
The effect of those soaring prices was quickly felt in regional wholesale markets where fuel wholesalers and service stations buy supplies for immediate delivery. Along the Gulf Coast itself, some gasoline was being priced as high as $2.85 a gallon, while prices reached $2.53 to $2.60 a gallon in California's unregulated spot market, according to Oil Price Information Service, an energy research firm.
Pump prices paid by Californians typically are at least 60 cents a gallon more than wholesale prices to reflect taxes, transportation and the dealer's profit, meaning "$3 gasoline is pretty much a certainty" at many gas stations over the Labor Day weekend, said Denton Cinquegrana, the firm's West Coast editor. Prices are less likely to fall after the holiday, when demand for gasoline typically eases.
On Tuesday, the average price for self-serve regular in California had climbed only slightly, to $2.809 a gallon compared with $2.801 on Monday, but that was still a record high, according to AAA.
Motorist Israel Solis, buying $2.89-a-gallon gasoline Tuesday night at a Chevron station in Santa Monica, was dismayed at the prospect of even more costly fuel. Gas sticker shock had already forced cancellation of a Labor Day trip to visit family in San Jose, the 29-year-old Marina del Rey resident said.
"It's sad. We're just going to have to pay it. What can you do?" said Solis, who said his wife had called before he pumped to remind him not to splurge on a more expensive grade.
The unprecedented prices could add to the record profits that many oil companies have enjoyed over the last 18 months, at least in regions unaffected by the powerful storm. Stock prices for several of the oil companies also rose Tuesday even as their problems in the Gulf mounted.
But the companies also face as-yet uncalculated repair bills to fix their production, refining and distribution facilities. In addition, many of the major oil companies, including Shell Oil Co. and Valero Energy Corp., have begun rationing how much gasoline they provide wholesalers and dealers while their Gulf Coast operations recover.
Some politicians have urged President Bush to immediately release some of the 700 million gallons of oil in the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve so that refiners can be confident of having enough supplies to make gasoline and other fuels. The White House has indicated that it would be willing to lend oil to companies, as it did after Hurricane Ivan nearly a year ago, but so far hasn't committed to simply releasing oil to the market.
When the hurricane struck Monday, energy prices jumped at first but then backed off somewhat, as Katrina moved inland and traders took some of their profits, believing that severe damage had been avoided.
But as Tuesday unfolded and energy company crews boarded airplanes and helicopters to get their first aerial views, the enormous extent of the hurricane's destruction became more apparent. Reports quickly surfaced about flooded refineries, closed pipelines and production platforms that had torn lose from their moorings.
Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc., for example, said its Ocean Warwick drilling rig — which normally floats 12 miles off the coast of Louisiana — was found miles away with "significant damage" at Dauphin Island, off the coast of Alabama. Murphy Oil Corp. said its New Orleans refinery was inaccessible because of flooding.
There also was topside damage to a big platform called Mars operated by Shell, according to a message to employees from Shell President John Hofmeister. Shell was sending out crews to retrieve two drilling rigs that drifted off location, with hopes of towing the rigs to shallow waters to make repairs, he said.
But as crews fanned out, they struggled to exchange information with company managers because electricity and phone lines were mostly out.
"There's just no phone service in or out of this impacted area, so we're just getting sporadic communication from our employees who have evacuated," said Chevron Corp. spokesman Mickey Driver.
Valero Energy began flying electrical workers and other repair personnel to its refinery in St. Charles, La., but it will still take one to two weeks for the facility to reopen, said spokeswoman Mary Rose Brown.
Other energy companies were still in the dark. ConocoPhillips executives said they knew almost nothing about three oil platforms that had been evacuated or its refinery in Belle Chasse, La., near New Orleans.
There was some good news. Hugh Depland, a spokesman for British oil giant BP, said aerial surveillance showed that the company's 59 platforms in the region — six of which are deepwater rigs — were in good condition.

You guys crack me up. Big baller rig like that and you are cancelling your trip :rolleyes: What's an extra $100 or so in gas gonna do? Go and have fun, no worries. You only live once.
Has nothing to do with how much money I may make. I just find it has gotten to a point where I don't want to keep pumping money into a hole. The hole not being the boat, but the gas tank. I have other things that I enjoy that would cost me $600-$700 less for the weekend.
I have a toy hauler and quads that I could take somewhere for $300 total (gas, food, etc.), where the weekend on the boat is over $1000. It's not that I have a problem with the $1000 weekend, but how much higher are you going to let that smae weekend rise in just the additional cost of fuel. Something has to give. I'm OK with or accept $3/gallon which is about $1 more than the same time last year, but $4 per gallon.... something has to change and I want to lower my demand for that product, so using it less does that for me.
Only problem with that plan is the new toy hauler is not in yet. :hammerhea
I'm excited for the dune season because it is a break from the $400 at the gas pumps eery other day when the boat is operating.
I enjoy the boat more than anything, but throwing away money is not my style, regardless what I make or anyone else may make.

1st trip this summer to havasu with cruise control set at 70,,,gonna feel like i can step up

[Magic34]

Well, I didn't get gas last night and this morning it was $2.95/gallon for super unleaded. I was planning to go get it after the sun went down today and it is $3.15 at that same station today. 100 gallons is only $20 more for those making the argument, but now there seems to be a monsoon coming and I wont pull the boat out to fill it up, so we'll see where it ends up when I fiannly can do it. Probably worse tomorrow.
Damnit, should have spent 2 hours last night and just did it. :burningm:

Never planned on Havasu... regardless of fuel prices. We are planning on hitting a lake about 90 minutes from here the same size of Havasu.
That is still up in the air. I have a feeling of guilt that I am using too much fuel where other parts of the country need it. Damn, I'm getting soft.
I am using the boat... Either up at Roosevelt (that's the one listed above) or at the local Phoenix lake, but most likely heading up to Roosevelt. I just want to help that region if I can.
I have many distributors in the Biloxi and Gulfport area, and have not heard a word about them. I figure if we haven't heard anything by the beginning of next week, we are not going to hear any good news of safety. I have one of my head sales guys calling the Coast Guard to see if he can help in New Orleans. He is dive certified and offered to help for a few days. This entire issue is weighing heavy in my mind. Maybe because I have spent time with the people of Biloxi doing meetings. I try to recognize the areas that I am familiar with on the news, but can't tell anything. I normally stay at the area with the big boat as a casino in the water, and haven't seen any images of that area that look the remotely the same.
