[QUOTE=roadrunner;443068]I still stick by my claim that 4.00 gas is what started the recession we are in. By the time you filled the car/truck with 4.00 gas bought groceries beer and cigarettes no one had any money to spend and business started to feel the pain.
DRILL BABY DRILL[/QUOTE]
Amen brother....I didn't even buy the beer and cigarettes part and I know the $4 gas killed me!!! :eek:
Down with the environmentalists libs.......DRILL!!! :D

I agree with you. It's time to take our country back.[QUOTE=olgreenboat;443016]I feel for you guy's who drive trucks/suv's every day our daily driver is a 91 Honda civic that gets 34 MPG and it hurts me when gas goes up.. They say it is because of the fighting over there but I think it is Bull crap.Some one has to pay for the BP's gulf spill. The media its self that announcing that gas will 5 a gallon will start a panic affect and gas will shot up anyway? So why say anything???????? Man there idiots and so many people believe that if the media say's it It is the truth not saying gas will not go to 5 bucks a gallon. Just in general, There is as much oil right under our feet as there is in other countries. What really sux is we are pulling oil from Iraq and selling it on the open market right now. Why don't they bring it here so our economy can once again flourish ?. Hay folks I have a Dr. that is from Russia and he is an older guy he said that this country is following the path of USSR we are just going at it a little slower he said we need to dissolve the whole Government and start over, I about fell out of my chair!
Well I can go on and on about this kind of thing but I will cut it off here. I realy think it is time we doo somthing or pay the price..
Be safe this year and tight lines to all..[/QUOTE]
The projections I have seen predict gas getting to $4.00 which is about 20% more than it is now. By the time we split gas last year we spent about $120 in gas on our big fishing trip. This year it will be $144 so its not like $24 is going to make a big impact on a trip that cost $300 total. But it does **** for sure and my dad just got a new optimax for his boat so he wont spend near as much.

dang, you got it made. best thing i drive gets about 17...maybe...if my foot is out of it.
Hit the smaller trolling motor lakes more often. Big fish don't always live in big water.
If we don't tap our own resources, then we will never get away from these oil prices.
Raise the price of a bushel of wheat or corn for export to the same as a barrel of oil. We can eat our wheat and corn, let's see them drink their oil. :D
[QUOTE=SKEETERDIK;443058]Looks like my wife is going to have to cut back on her expenses because I'm going fishing regardless of how much gas prices rise!!![/QUOTE]

That's fine and dandy for right now...but wait until the gas tax is repealed and we're all assessed a highway usage fee based on the miles we drive instead of the gallons of gas or diesel we use.
Higher miles per gallon has caused a large reduction in the amount of available funds to fix our bridges, highways, etc.
The guy with the electric car who is taking advantage of not paying any highway taxes at all will eventually be dealt with. He's short-changing the government by not buying fuel.
Along those same lines, it wouldn't surprise me if trailers were part of the highway usage fee also. Won't it be fun paying for the miles our boat trailers travel on the highway too?
Alright already....quit bellyaching........Don't you know that oil companies and proponants of oil companies have been tring to tell you all for years now that oil is not that exspensive!!!
"Gas is still cheaper that a gallon of milk".............
Whoops!! just check the sales flyer......looks like gas is about 40% higher than milk.:o
Think I can get my 87 octaine in a jug with a convenient handle and chilled???
Well at least it is still cheaper tha an oz. of gold.
This won't bother me. I'll continue to fish every chance I get, 2-3 days per week. If you are going to play, you gotta pay. Besides, it's only money.

Rich drilling is only going to go so far. Chevron charges the same for Alaskan oil as Lybia oil. I can't tell the diffenence.
Let's chant "alteratives baby alternatives"
If we can get all the lib. retards driving lectric cars, we can have gas for our boats. hee hee hee.:rolleyes:
Looks like I will just be syphoning my gas from Tyme's truck while he is out on the Ohio wishing Doug was still around.:D
IN reality gas isnt that expensive. It simply lacked behind the rest of the inflation going on since the 1970's. You look at the cost of a gallon of gas as a percentage of what a typical household income is, and you will see it is a lower percentage than what it was 30 years ago. Gas prices are just simply catching up with inflation. That doenst make it hurt any less in the wallet.
[QUOTE=wags;443050]It just amazes me that the talk of a shortage of gas can justify gas station to raise the price of gas immediately. You know the gas in their tanks was the same gas they paid a lower price for.This *****, their profits go up up up and we pay the price. SORRY JUST VENTING[/QUOTE]
There's no shortage.
That's not why it's going up. :rolleyes:
