Gas Prices / Parker Trip
« on: June 05, 2008, 10:19:22 AM »
ok guys....i have heard a few people gripe about gas prices and because of it, they are going to make it.

Lets do the math.

From last year gas prices are up $1 per gallon (roughly)

That means youre only paying about $25-$30 more per fill up in your truck, and maybe an extra $20-$30 per fill up in your boat.

This is how I look at it. My truck gets 14mpg. It gets to parker on 3/4 of my 28? gallon tank. (lets say 20 gallons each way).

that means round trip im paying $40 more (Round trip) then I would last year.

In my boat I have two 15 gallon tanks. I MIGHT go through both of them through the weekend, maybe top them off saturday morning....so lets say I burn all 30 gallons. Thats only $30 more then I would have used compaired to last year (if i had a boat)

I know theres many other factors involved here, but with my logic, it makes it easier to swallow (pun intended) the current gas price hikes. I really hate to hear that $70 more in gas for the weekend makes or breaks this trip for so many people.

I hope to see you all out there.

Brad I agree with everything you said plus...
My philosophy is I can burn my gas at Lake Elsinore  OR  at the river.  Either way I'm gonna boat.

Fuel for truck $300
Fuel for boat  $200
Fuel for me (JD)$50

I have found that the less you think about it, the less you worry about it.  I just go and then deal with the money part of it later.   Like it was said earlier, you are going to boat anyways so you may as well be at the river!

For me it's not so much the gas prices , it's all the other financial shit going on in my life at this point in time.

Taco'd "a person or people that show up with one lake lice and a family of 50 and cram 3 people at a time on it with no disregard to boating rules or ethics. Usualy crap in toilets and throw shit paper in trash cans. Hang out at the boat ramp like its a swimming hole. Have zero insurance on anything they own and dont give two shits less about your property."
