Up it goes. Where its stops only the oil man knows..
So $128 dollars for a barrel today (05-16-08).
I just don't get it !! back in the early 70's they were sitting in line at the pumps giving a limit on purchasing gasloine at 85 cents a gallon because of shortages.The scare was on.
Now its reason after reasons, excuse after excuses.
I don't buy it.These prices per gallon needs to level off and help put confidence back in the way we enjoy our sport.This is danger zone now.

If they can make cars ration.... they can deny pleasure craft completely.

i joined a yacht club last year and the cost per gallon at the dock (for members)is usually less than the cheapest land prices. we own the pumps and pay about ten cents per gallon over whatever it costs to get it there. last year i put about 2500 miles (gps) on the boat so roughly 2500 gallons. had my best boat'n season yet an it keeps get'n better . . . . worth EVERY penny.
