I was more refering to the government opening up offshore and alaskan drilling. If they do this, the mere threat of the additional supply will likely make prices plummet.
Or we could just tax the crap out of the oil companies and give everyone tax rebates to buy fuel with. Yeah, that will work. The oil companies would never think of raising prices to cover the additional tax, would they? |

this morning, fuel went up ~0.45-0.50$ / gallon here.
So we're @ 5.50$/gallon for regular and 6.00$/gallon for super |

I hope something happens...
I've been in the boating industry for 10 years now, and we've been on a slow steady slide for 3 years now. This past year has been BAD. We just received word of two weeks shutdown this month, and most are at 4 days per week. This will give me an oppurtunity to get some work related stuff done that I don't normally have time for, and one of those weeks I was off for my honeymoon anyways......But still........Most folks are quite nervous BTW the other day we tested a boat that I put a Merc 525 in. N/A big block......That things consumes........................ready...................50 GPH.....On average. And the boat we put it in will actually use more than that by about 5-10% How many of those do you suppose we can sell? |

Mark I guessed I missed all those discussions....So I'm guessing that a gas truck saves BIG bucks over a diesel in both long and short term savings.......Any numbers Mark? |
