GAS, TRUCKS, AND BOATS AND SUCH

[stevec]

anybody see the guy on fox in the morning today that developed some deal to where his car would run on like 3 ounces of water?

This water injection thing was brought up once before. Uh how much does water cost? Think about that. they say the next wars will be fought over that commodity. We need oil to make plastic bottles to fill with water, that costs almost as much as gasoline???? I( think we all need our collective heads candled.

My take on a boat has always been that if I can't pay for it in cash that I can't afford it. I really enjoy my boat but for the 15 days a year it hits the water in no way can I justify massive payments. About 2 years ago, I was able to move to the same strategy on cars. When you write a check for $30K, it really hits home how much money it really is and makes one think twice about the purchase.

My take on boats, long drives pulling a boat and running and gunning in the boat is that without fuel or technology advancements none of this stuff may be practical for a average guy in say 5-10 years. For me just to pull my boat down to Barkley and back plus 3 days boat gas is $250 to $300 not including lodging or anything else. Basically, a 4 day fishing weekend now costs me $400 even if I split part of the costs and that does not include depreciation of boat, truck, repairs, nothing.

I am interested in a new rig but won't even consider a new outfit till it becomes clear where gas prices will net out.

Here is an interesting read on Mercury and Ethenal Blended Fuels. http://bbcboards.zeroforum.com/zerothread?id=114216

Let's not forget that a gallon of milk is over $4.00 as well so we do need to keep of a mind that nothing is cheap but our salaries and retirement benefits just havent kept up. The root of it is too much government and too many taxes. They are squeezing us dry.

[QUOTE=HURRICANEBOB;269346]Have you noticed the relationship? Gas prices are steady on the rise while truck sales and prices keep tumbling.

Bob you sure you didn't write this in 2005? If you look at the original post it is dated '05, someone dug this one out of the cellar.

I really don't remember it if I did. Especially since it makes sense, and I don't normally do that very well.

I just hate to have my reputation as an idiot tarnished with anything that makes this much sense.
