Bush needs to do something !!!!
It is time for GW to start really leading. All this focus on Iraq is going to kill our economy. I am not suggesting that the threat GW is trying to squelch in Iraq is not real. I think it is and we need to take care of that situation.
But why is no one saying anything about the Venezual ( I know it's spelled wrong) situtaion
That is why our fuel prices are going out of sight.
The economy is shaky at best. If we have to absord these kinds of fuel prices for more than a month or so look out. You think people have stoppped buying stuff now, wait until they realize how much it is costing them to just drive to the greocery store. This is a huge issue that if not resolved in short order will cause a situation that you and I as Americans (let alone boat owners) will have never faced. Our parents or grand parents may have during the depression, but we have not. The news media is not helping telling everyone to buy duct tape and Glad wrap for the doors and windows (like it would make a difference).
George, It's time to save our economy so we can save the world !!!!!!!

Whats the price of offroad or "red fuel"? Diesel here in central il is $1.69 a gallon. I use off-road fuel in the boat so it is not as expensive and having a farm helps too.

What a bunch of cry babies!!!!! 
Try CA prices! Actually, they are way lower than two years ago. When I go my new boat, I took delivery in Havasu AZ. The dealer delivered it with about 20 gallons in a 200 gallon tank. Being a new boat, I wanted to only put the best in it (I know better now) and put 92 octane in it.
It took 180 gallons @ $2.42 a gallon ($440.44)
A rude awakening to bigger boats.
