The 3 dollars for premium made for a $450 dollar burger rather than a $750 burger at $5 gas. Should be a great summer. Doug

Since you were saving $$$ Doug, did you have mushrooms on the burger? "Happy New year"

Depends on the type of boating you do, and how lucky you are! LOL

For many years, I was lucky enough to spend very little money on broken parts. So, gas for the truck and boat was the most expensive part of boating. As someone else said, 1/2 price gas means boating more often and/or traveling further on the boat. Of course that is dependent on what breaks!

Or we could see a resurgence of new boats ordered?

if the price of gas is the determining factor in whether or not you can afford to go boating or buy a boat then you can't afford a boat.
