Bob, we're headed your way, so we may get to stay under $4/gal for the little pickup. Checked out the diesel pumps yesterday, they were at $4.57. Last time I filled up it was $4.79. I budgeted $5/gal for our trip. At this rate, I might be able to afford live bait, and a night out at MCdonalds or KFC. Stony

I had to drive to Stamford, CT yesterday for a doctor's visit. I saw three stations were the cost of regular was over $4.65. I didn't see the cost of deisel to report to you. That's higher than the local stations in my town because that's where the highest traffic of vacationers travel. Locally, we're around $4.30 How's that for price gouging? I keep seeing the state's Attorney General saying he is clamping down on price gouging, but I just don't see it. Bottom line? We aren't having a summer vacation this year.

Gas usually goes up 25c on Holidays around here, and I know what's up with that. Stan "We are different - yet we are the same" 2004 GL1800 Goldwing (Titanium) 1999 Ace Tourer (Silver over Black)

HSATF 2nd Officer Posts: 462 07/25/08 10:43 PM	Our news said tonight that the Attorney General's office is being overwhelmed with calls and emails demanding to know why gas hasn't gone down but a couple of cents while oil prices have dropped over $20 a barrel since the 10th. People here are getting pissed. My closest gas station is a Gulf; $4.31 today.

Posts: 2307 08/01/08 10:50 AM	Pretty crazy...where will this all end? The lower prices came to a halt this morning. Last night gas was $3.55 per gallon. This morning it was $3.70 per gallon. Who sneezed causing this latest jump? Bob

HSATF 1st Officer Posts: 587 08/01/08 1:01 PM	I filled up the T @ $3.69/gal yesterday near Patk Rapids, MN. On the way up I had to fuel up the diesel only once. It was $4.44/gal. That's the lowest price I've seen since April. In the park Rapids area diesel has dropped to $4.49 from $4.71. in the last week. It's almost time to re-fuel the boat. My four-stroke won't run right on anything but premium, and I have a 27 gallon tank. I used to teach math, but I think I would need Fred and Tony to calculate the co$t of the walleye dinner I had last night. I just sent in my application/resume/references to four area school districts today. My plan is to be a substitute teacher in the fall and spring to help pay for the fuel for our winter travels. I talked to my friend, Bob, last night. He and his wife are our RV travel buddies. He picked up some consultant work to help pay for fuel this winter. I am also looking into becoming an Internet teacher. One outfit only needs you to be available on line from 10-2 five days a week, and the pay is way better than subbing. The fuel crunch may get us to stop travelling, but not without exhausting all other possibilities. Stony

Bob hey bob, just didn't think it was right with you guys having such cheap gas, so i made a couple phone calls last night to exxon-mobile. told them they could make a little more profit if they raised prices in your area bud

HSATF 1st Officer Posts: 587 08/02/08 10:23 AM	Thanks, Fred. Gary, after hearing the prices in Connecticut, I'm glad we got to see your state last fall. We really enjoyed the "walking weekends" and our trip to Mystic. Back then diesel was around $3.00/gal--sigh! Stony

CleRider	Gas Prices....	#59	[url]	[-]
Posts: 1908 08/02/08 8:08 PM	There is no doubt... gas prices have changed our recreational life. Last summer Holly and I would take the Miata for a nightly cruise, nothing long, maybe 30-50 miles round trip. This year we plan our trips and have limited ourselves to a trip or two on the weekends only. Prices around here are all over the place. Some as high at 4.09 and then as low as 3.67 within ten miles. Who would have thought we would/could get excited about paying 3.67 a gallon. I guess someone has to pony up the money, otherwise Exxon cannot boast their quarterly earnings of 11.7 billion dollars (and still disappoint the investors????). As for other impacts... my sister, an avid motorhome camper, has not taken her rv out of storage this year. She says it's just too expensive to enjoy. Andy
