    There goes the holiday!

    Just reported on CNN …

    Oil settles today at a record $138.54 a barrel, up $10.75 on a weak dollar and it is forecast that it will hit $150 a barrel by July 4th

    Just freaking great!

      Yup, hence the reason we're staying local this year. Gonna miss Shasta but at $5 a gallon i'd have to take out a loan!

        You know its time to revolt, does anybody know how to start some kind of revolution, because if you do I am in.

          This is all because of the tree-huggers, the US has plenty of oil to sustain itself, but we can not drill it. The state of Alaska is just about to take the federal government to court to let them get some oil!

          I hear some speculations that the barrel will get to $200 this year.

            It is so sad, if we as a nation could all get together and say were cutting back on using oil majorly, we could do something, but it is going to take much more than this to get everyone to really wake up i fear, not that any of us have much room to talk, we are boat owners.

              That's was from the same guy the said it would go over $100 and everyone said he was nuts...

              When it hits $200 gas will be at $7.50 a gal

                Again, I hope he is wrong!

                  Thank God we have a 13 year moratorium on domestic oil exploration. You wouldn't want to actually have a more balanced economy that is less susceptible to manipulation from outside influences. Now we can all watch as oil prices go through the roof and no one can afford to invest in alternative energy sources.

                  But hey, let's put another Clinton in the white house so we can finish the economy. Pretty soon we'll be a socialist state where the government runs everything they don't already. You'll need permission to go to the bathroom

                  ...ok, i'm done ranting...for now.

                      you know what bothers me is that the tree huggers want us to save the earth and what not and everyone should use hybrids but they should make them cheap so ppl can afford it..... and another thing how the farmers are doing so bad the gov should pay them to grow corn and what ever eles is in bio diesel and just have everything diesel... we may lose a lil hp but i could care less.. i rather pay $2 at the pump and lose 10 hp then spend $4.86 a gallon

                        I'm just glad my Tige only sucks between 5 & 7.5 Gph vs. 10-12 Gph that's typical with the other boats.

                        I love my new Faria Fuel Manager...good thing it doesn't allow you to plug in the price of gas or I'd be depressed if I actually saw the $$$ spent on the display

                          Hey i can't complain, the Moomba averaged 7gph last weekend (out 3.5 days camping) and that included some surfing.

                            Well, if gas gets up too high, I am parking the boat then Well, at least the 24Ve. Ops, that is already parked.

                              Let's see....Fill up the boat approx. $100 depending on where my gauge is at, then fill up the diesel that is pulling it $125. Hmmmmmm, that just plane sucks A$$. Foxfam, I'm with you on the revolution, the only problem is you have to get all of our military brothers and sisters to join us. Or at least the majority.
