Default These gas prices!

$2 / gallon premium> If it lasts, that should bring Hi performance boating back to the average persons budget.At 2.00 /gallon I could go every weekend time permitting lol.
Or we could see a resurgence of new boats ordered?

If you are ordering a new boat you don't give a rats ass what the price of fuel is.

I'll bet a a lot of boats will see the water for the first time in a while this year though, and that could stir up some new found interest.of coarse they will all burn down because of rotten fuel.

Paid $4.35 on the water yesterday- we have a ways to go before seeing street prices. Beautiful day to be on the water so price is justified at any price.

Here's what I'm thinkin....

Regular is $1.80 here in Michigan, and premium is a hair more than that.

Even if gas shoots up to $2.80 this summer, and marina fuel is a dollar more than that, I'll still be paying more than a buck less per gallon than last year! With how much fuel I went through in 2014, that should save me almost two grand!
