Gasoline prices

[00SKEETER]

Hey, with gas prices going down, I went fishing this last weekend. Saved almost $12.00 on filling up two 12 gallon tanks with prices down .50/gallon. And then paid it all back cause the prices of cokes, coffee, snacks, and even nightcrawlers was up.

Next time I go, I think I'll buy no gas, and take a bottle of Jose Cuervo. Ramp in, tie up to the dock, and just bobber fish right there. That way I'll save the whole 24 gallons worth of gas, won't drink any coffee or cokes, and can fillet the first 3 bluegills caught to bottom fish for cats. And once the tequilla has me wasted while safely tied to the dock, I can save another $40 bucks by sleeping on the boat and avoiding a motel bill.......a couple trips like that and I'd be rich.

Did I tell ya all about the hornet nest???????

Yeah, it's kind of funny how the price of oil is going down which brings the price of diesel down but I haven't seen any relief in grocery prices. I gurantee you if oil goes back up the groceries will spike again (w/o ever going down). I just think it's funny how that works. They don't hesitate to raise prices but they won't drop them.

How bout that hornet nest?

One big reason grocery prices are up is because of the ethanol mandate that raises corn prices. In effect it's basically taking us say two gallons of fuel to make 1 gallon of corn fuel...that don't quite add up . so what i'm saying is it's costing us more energy to make corn fuel than what we are getting out of it and congress has a mandate on it. Hopefully our next president and congress will do something about that This isn't the only reason grocery prices are high but it is 1 major factor.

$2.84 two hours north of Minneapolis, probably a few cents cheaper in the metro area. It's a long way for you guys to drive to save 5 to 15 cents a gallon! Heading down there this weekend and I haven't solicited for any help on Kentucky Lake from this board, other than a post a few weeks ago asking about trouble on the lake.

This is an excellent message board with alot of good comments and information. I have appreciated reading this board the last few weeks. Wish we had a board like this in Minnesota. We have message boards, but nothing like this. Nice work!

Comment on food prices not going down although diesel is going down. The real reason food keeps going up and I don't forsee coming down is this nation is growing corn for ethanol and using valuable land to grow corn for ethanol when it could be used for growing food.
