I haven't heard anyone complain about the price of fuel this summer

**King Creole** · 07-23-2012, 08:04 AM

We paid $3.30 in Havasu for fuel this weekend. I havent noticed anyone complaining. Is $3.50 a gallon acceptable or the New Norm?

The price of fuel/diesel...still sucks, as it rises yet again.
The price of "gas"...sucks too.

That price only sux for the producers, the consumer has it pretty good right now.

Probably because the culture changed and people go less often?

I was a little grumpy after filling up the Formula and Cig on the same day, ( of course they both were almost empty ) but a nice run made it all worth while.

Icy

Havasu and Windsor Launch ramp were pretty busy. There may be less people boating elsewhere but Lake Havasu was
80% full tilt.

Although the channel seemed less busy but I figured that was because everyone was out on the water.

Back in the day when I was a kid (90s) people went every(other) weekend. The population of boaters seemed much lower. These days it seems more boater population but less individual trips. I'm not doubting the capacity.

I want it like it was 30 years ago when my beer cost more than my boat gas.

Looks like their plan worked

People bitched about $3 a gallon
So they raised the price to over 4
Now we think $3 looks great

isn't that just the absolute truth!

Yeah, sadly I am now happy with sub $3.50 for premium..but I didn't get into boating because it was cheap.. $3.50 a gallon is still a heck of a lot cheaper than going to jail for speeding on the roads..

Well considering it wouldn't do any good anyway

But compared to the $3.80 it was in May I'll take the $.50 cut for what its worth. Definitely prefer the $2.41 it was last summer

Havasu was plenty busy fri/sat but what you don't see is the runs up/down the lake all day long just for the hell of it.
I predicted high gas prices would hit us when I built my boat in late 03. Being the first boat to a destination was not my priority, so I got the 6.2 and it'll go many trips before I have to refill it. Two week long trips and I still have two tanks with 1/4 each still left.
