This summers gas prices....

When I bought my boat last year my eyes were wide open with the gas costs. Whatever happens, happens. We don't go on $10 - 15,000 trips and the boat overall yearly costs to own and run are our "trips" at this point. At my age, nothing is planned long term anymore. This is a 5 year experience for us and good health is not a given. Never is but as each year goes by it becomes more and more fleeting. So anyway, it'll get run as much as we want. Plus! I bought it with the tanks 3/4 full. So that'll cover getting it up from Erie in May.

Hah. I always store my boat 100% full for winter. I think of it as hedging against fuel price increases the following year. Might actually pay off this time around :)

I was paying 4.70 at the end of the season. 5.50 wont make a difference to me. We have two one week trips planned this summer. It could be 8 bucks a gallon and were still goin

100%
We get four solid months. I will not stay at the dock. I suspect a lot of boats will though.
 
$36 to fill the Porsche up under Trump. $59 under Biden. What is the world coming to!?

I’m kicking myself for not doing that this year…. But storage was trailering it a few miles so opted to leave it empty
Spring when I fill it will be like ripping the bandaid off…. After that I should be good to go

Likely referring to the Keystone XL pipeline that Brandon shutdown shortly after taking office.

It can’t be that. Keystone XL was never even constructed, so it can not conceivably have any material effect on either oil supply or energy independence.
Also, can’t be Keystone I, II, or III, which have been operational since 2010, 2011, and 2016, respectively.

Like I said, I havent heard of any pipelines being shut down.

Damn, you caught me. Relying on facts, demonstrating an understanding of economics, clearly I’m a Communist! Resurrect Joe McCarthy!

Facts, like this, which was used to launch the "Russia, Russia, Russia" investigation?
