I have Boat U.S. unlimited towing, so I just call them and have them tow me to the places I raft up at. How many time's do you think I can do it before they catch on.
I'am working on a deal now to trade my 42 Sonic with twin 500efi's for a 47 Outerlimits with trip 700's, do you think it will suck twice the gas?

The price of premium gasoline is $4.29.9 a gallon Thursday, March 13, 2003, at this Texaco station in El Cajon, Calif., a suburb of San Diego. This Chevron Station across the street is selling premium for $2.29.9 a gallon. Business at the Texaco was non-exisisting. (AP Photo/Jack Smith)

They had that owner on CNN (TV not OSO). His excuse(????) was
"My tanks were almost empty, and I didn't want to run them too far down, but didn't want to refuse service either"

Tulsa larry....
That margin for your gas($1.51/9) seems reasonable. So the station can make a living and pay labor help. Geogia has cheap taxes, they brag about it in their reasons to move your business there, what are there prices. In the 70's I moved to Tulsa from Houston and gas prices jumpes 7-10 cents a gallon when you crossed the Red River. Today a I saw 1.58 at a Wal-mart 1.63 at Shell Kroger store1.62. I think marina is 2.50.

The hell with the prices, I'm going boating! I have 2 boats to keep full, if I run out of cash I'll break out the credit card, but tanks WILL be full! I've spent WAY too much $$ on boating to let gas prices limit it.
