Off Topic Gas Prices

[Wave Runner]

This is going to hurt every time we fill up our boats and tow vehicles this fishing season.
Johnny come lately but finally doing the right thing Biden announced this morning he is cutting off the Russian oil. However that means it will drive the prices even higher then this prediction. Maybe $2.50 a litre or even higher is anybody's guess at this point and along with that likely a 40% increase in everything we buy. We have lived through 2 miserable years of covid so buckle up it's going to get much worse. It could be worse though, we could be living in Ukraine.

Gas prices could reach $2.20 per litre in southern Ontario come April: analyst | Globalnews.ca

"The longer this goes on and no one has alternative capacity, it's likely that $2.20 could be a number that we begin to see as we head towards April," Dan McTeague said.

Yeah! If it's not one thing it's another limiting our ability to enjoy life. I'm already trying to figure out how to adjust to the new reality. This is going to impact us all for many years.

@Wave Runner , if I can afford to drive down to "The Station", I'll be glad to kick in $5 or so for boat gas and ramp fee.

DARN!! @Wave Runner I might have to start looking for a fishing partner soon to help me “feed” my truck & boat with fuel!! This is getting crazier each day & I might have to go thames river fishing off the riverbank’s a lot more close to my home,less gasoline to get there!! I will likely use my Discovery Solo 119 canoe ,(muscle power!!), that I just recently gotten for my Christmas & birthday present combined a lot more on a nearby reservoir,fishing for largemouth & smallmouth bass & walleye’s,etc. But,hopefully,we can get back to some kind of “normal” again such as cheaper gasoline & fingers crossed

He is also in discussions (I believe) with undesirables to obtain oil from other sources.

If this somehow shortens the duration and reduces the potential number of war crimes that are already happening I'm in.

At least at this point, we'll still have our lives to live.

If that fool Biden had not rolled back their already acquired energy independence and shutdown the Keystone pipeline this wouldn't even be an issue. Hey buying oil from dictator terrorist nations like Iran and Venezuela instead of Canada will solve the problem.

On a brighter side. We should see Pick-up truck and boat prices slip back. I am guessing those still working will not have the extra cash they have had for the last couple of years.

Putin said last night that he’s going to shut down any gas and fuel pit to the entire EU if they try more sanctions. An Biden just did 5 minutes ago.

They are predicting 300 dollars per barrel of oil and 4-5 dollars per litre if he does shut off the EU

Happy times

I'm starting to wonder if my 4 cylinder diesel pickup will be worth more than I paid for it (new) someday...

7700 lbs towing capacity, same fuel economy as a Chevrolet Impala.

 

[quackers]

Filled the 45US gal boat tank with premium last fall before storage. Best investment I have going right now...

yah if gas prices are doubled or tripled what they were last year I suspect I will go fishing half to 2/3 less the amount of times I did last year.

Still hasn't seemed to affect the driving habits of those who own minivans and pick up trucks but for some reason believe them to be street licensed F1 race cars.

Anyone ever put downriggers on a windsurfer?

 

[Extra Virgin]

 

[Wave Runner]

This guy thinks he's got the answer to high gas prices. That is until it's time to go home and the wind has totally died but he's still 12 miles offshore from port.

 

[Crummybun]

I was planning on using the kayak alot more this year. Looks like it's going to be a solid plan.

 

[DaveJ]

I have a full boat tank...80 gallons. When its gone..I might be a Bruce Pier Junkie

If it's that bad for you @Derkd9 I'll open a seat for you on occasion, but you have to bring Maple.

No Maple no @Derkd9
