$5.00 GAS

[homie452]

i guess i will just stock up on trolling motor batteries !!!!!!!!!!!!

[roughscott]

Have you seen the price of batterys , and hope you dont need a tire .

[HURRICANEBOB]

-Go a little less often, stay longer. At the price of Gas, better to get a cheap motel for day 2, than fill the truck to tow back again.
- More time trolling, less turning and burning.
- Ramp in closer to the spots to be fished.
- Only take along fishing buddies that weigh less than me
- Carry less beer and more boubon, more buzz per pound

I'll eat out a couple times less a week.......spend less at BPS.......drive 55, instead of 75, and I will be fine.

AND my OPTI gets pretty **** good economy at 4000 rpm versus 5300 rpm......booya.

Bob,

Can I fish with you??

(I won't gaurantee I weigh less)

[zx150]

It will cut back on my fishing a bunch.

[TroyRalph502]

Wont be keeping me away from fishing. Just gotta cut costs somewhere else.

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..

Not sure where you're getting your info...there are some wild claims in there, especially about BP. I would recommend some research before you start posting outlandish things.

When a military commander kills a bunch of his country's citizens, including many who work and run the refineries, an impact to the oil market is inevitable...

Add that to the falling value of the dollar (because a certain someone decided to print and spend a lot here lately) and you've got an oil crisis in the US. Someone said $5 per gallon gas this summer, I wouldn't be surprised to see it go to $7!

Here's what I read this morning in the news....

Oil exports dwindling
The uprising has virtually wiped out Libya's oil exports, said the head of Italy's ENI, Libya's biggest foreign oil operator. The unrest has driven world oil prices up to around $120 a barrel, stoking concern about the economic recovery.

I agree with you. It's time to take our country back.

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.
