The way gas prices are going for years it's no surprise recreational activities will suffer. RV's will park instead of moving, boat manufacturing stay stagnant, people float more and more.My son and friends grew up boating with me and have fond memories but they all say they won't be buying boats any time soon because of the operating costs involved.Can't blame them. They rather spend their money on cars that can be enjoyed on short trips, hanging around local events, spending much less on fuel compared to boats, motorhomes, traveling trailers.
Like Dean Ferry, I'll spend more time driving my Viper around with friends and their high performance cars, visiting great places in a 60 mile radius.
Regular is 151.7c per liter this morning. Premium is 167.9 c , yikes!

I think we're in the $3.80's here in CT for regular. What pisses me off is that diesel is $4.30-4.40!! I remember a time when diesel was cheaper than gas...
A number of my buddies are doing the jet ski thing this year. I think 6 or 7 guys i know are parking the boats and bought skis. Just a little easier on fuel and towing and they can still get to the islands and coves where the parties are. I'm probably going to spend a little more time on the motorcycle myself...

the cheap price for Texaco premium out here in the San Francisco East Bay Area, is $4.45/gal and $4;40 if you use a debt card. Regular is about 15 cents cheaper.. This the lowest prices around here,,, in SF is even higher.
Thank you
