I like this quote from the article
"Leon says he spent 18-dollars on seven gallons of gas"
Where is this dude buying gas... I need to go there !!!
I went out this weekend ... Used less than a half a tank but when I topped off the tank it was 131.00 in the boat and 50.00 in the truck outch that is 181.00 for gas

I actually found gas cheaper on the water than on land (first time I've ever seen that). The BP on Harsens Island $3.58 gallon for 87 the BP on the way home $3.59 gallon for 87. I know, only a penny but still shocking none the less. First time on the big lake for me last week so I did a lot of driving to see who was out, but I already plan on just making trips from the boat launch to Gull Island and back. Cutting out a lot of sight seeing. However, if I'm sitting at an island I'll just spend more on

We left the Fountain home and went to the family cabin and used our kayaks. No fuel, totally green ..............................
but spent $90 plus dollars on truck gas to get up north and back. No escape.
But all is not lost. The new kayak has a cup holder!!!!!!!!

Did not see any boats at all - but it was raining all weekend. I didn't get any of my boats out either - just sat on a lawn chair and enjoyed the view from the porch. Saw one new cat late on Monday, looked like he was putting in break-in hours.

I know a good portion of us here on OSO have deeper pockets than some but I am very glad I went down to a boat almost half the size and 1 big block. The old boat was 150 gal fill up and drank it like it was going outta style

Yep, I hold 165 gal and it is empty now, at 4.10 a gallon thats $675.00 to fill her up (tank lasts one poker run= 1 day). I don't know about you all, but I have to work pretty hard to earn that kind of cash. Not everybody that owns a boat is rich.
