Is $5 a gallon for gas too much!

[bigq]

They say with the issues arising from Iran oil will get up to over $100.00 a barrel :cry: That will put gas almost $5.00 a gallon. So are you going to be boating?

Sure, but everyone that gets in the boat is payin 20$ toward fuel.

5.00gallon for the super then add in the av gas.it'll cost me @100.00 to fill 20gallon tank(2hrs of playin). i'll just have to bring back the old sayin:ass,grass,or gas ,noone rides free!

[Desert Rat]

You also have to figure in the fuel to get where ever your going. Nope i think i would get rid of it at $5.00 a gal.

I think that would be the worse time to get rid of it. Whos going to pay what your boats worth when gas is that expensive?

[Desert Rat]

Maybe i'll just have to turn it into a nice looking flower garden in the front yard! :cry:

Let's see...my boat holds about 200 gallons, so that's around $1,000 to fill it up?
No worries!
Good thing race gas hasn't gone up with the crude prices...

[Roxysnow]

I think my boat trips will consist of the Launch to the Channel and back to the launch if it were to hit $5! As long as I can kick it in the boat, I'm a fine with it!

[dicudmore]

yup what Roxy said...
I'm going no matter what gas costs...just might float more and run less

[Biglue]

Will definetely still be boating but probably cut down on trips though.

[JetBoatRich]

we really enjoy boating and the water :cool: so we will still go, just might cut back on how much we run it :rolleyes:

[Phat Matt]

I'm with Roxy. I think things like the Dam Run would be for the ballers. :D

[sorry dog]

How much is a gallon of alcohol?

[hoolign]

As long as my oil company stocks go up and my day rate goes up at the same % increase..it can hit 20 bucks a gallon for all I care!

ME too haul AZZ for 1 mile to the chanel and back

Have to launch closer to the dam :rolleyes:

[DUNDUN]

its crazy.. i remember a couple years ago i was in awe of how much gas was in europe.. were right there now.. i think $5 a gallon would definitely lower the amount of river trips throughout the year for my family.

[jbtrailerjim]

I don't think I would sell my boat but I definitely wouldn't be driving it as much. I would be spending a lot of time beached or anchored in a cove.

[GHT]

I think I'll have to buy a bigger boat so I can bring more people to the lake it's cheaper per person this way.....
Not to mention I'll be hangin' in the channel after launching at the Lake Havasu Marina.. :cry:

[Some Kind Of Monster]

I dont care what gas costs. I can't afford it anyway! I'm going to the lake!

[Tremor Therapy]

I have to agree with what is being said. Fewer trips, and less time running the boat. 85 gallons at $5 a gallon is what gas used to cost for the entire trip, including the tow rig! Now gas for my average 4 day trip would be over $1300 dollars! Damn, thats what my average 4 day trip used to cost including the gas!

[Mandelon]

Makes me glad I don't have a big new boat with twin 496HO's.... :cool:

[piper]

These gas prices are gettng out of control back in the U.S. Over here I pay about $0.06 for a gallon in the country of Iraq and when I'm down in Kuwait I'm paying about $0.27 a gallon. I know the oil is here in these countries but why does it have to be so expensive back home.
By the way that price comes with a risk everytime we stop to refuel outside the compound.

[H2OT TIMES]

As a very pretty blonde lady once told me. No matter how high gas prices go, 5 dollars worth is still 5 dollars worth.
