I need Fuel! DO YOU!

I just thought I would let everyone know that posted replies for a simple chance to lower fuel prices. I need fuel just like everyone else but is sucks to pay $100.00 for a good time and it didn't include beer or booze! The great part about that topic is I got a little of everyones personal political views. Good luck with your opinions everyone but thats not changing the fuel prices. Thanks to everyone for the good feed back not the I know all att*tude like a few people that replied. Thats one good reason I wouldn't ever want to join a club or a website like this because someone always has to be a dick!

62 said it best, CHILL man.

bottom line is your theory is like everyother chain letter that hasn't worked and won't work. i also read the other thread and (maybe i a way off but) nobody was being a dink. that was a pretty civil discussion. the weather has been very nice here in the great lakes region, so get out and enjoy the boat while you can, you can always make more money.   Or just put in the garage and stare at it, you live once, live it up. with regards to how much money we spend on gas for our trucks and other toys, this is petty. step back, relax and enjoy the ride. don't sweat the small stuff, and nearly all of it is small stuff.

The old saying has always held true....

"Ya got to pay to play"......

Have a great boating season.. Just get your buddies to chip in a few more bucks, or beers or whatever... It all works outfor the sake of fun !!!

Good lord, another dick.
Not to worry folks... sounds like the price of fuel will curtail his activities.

Ok. I have to know. Am I the Dick? If so at least have the respect to call me the Big Dick... or Mr. Dick....   

Amen

LMAO


(And you didn't even get a blast from 79)

I missed the original post so I searched and read it. Anybody that believed that email about buying gas from independents making gas prices go down is probablly still waiting for Bill Gates to send them $20 for forwarding an email to 20 of their friends.
OPEC controls the price of crude.
Gas prices would go down if we could build more refineries in the US instead of importing refined fuel from Overseas. Or if we cut our consumption.
Gas prices have gone up recently because of the refineries switching to Summer Gasoline (it happens every Spring).
China's demand for oil is and will be a much larger issue in the future.
I'm with J_I_H. Buy some stock in Exxon or Shell or ConnocoPhillips or BP. Cash your Dividend check every Quarter and smile. I'll be happy to broker the deal for you if you need a stock broker.
One other thing, Europe pays $6/Liter for gas because most of the cost is TAX. They're Socialist. Somebody has to pay for "Free" health care.
There, now I'm the biggest dick.

I'm still waiting to see that! With the added weight, no need for FatSacs

Do you know how you can tell who the biggest dick is? Its the first one to speak up when you say dick in general to a group of replies! As for wood 62 I wasn't looking for a smart ass reply but you have done a great job at it.
I'm sure you have more money than Bill Gates and if so more power to ya. But some of us that live in the middle class and aren't almost retired have to keep an eye on there fun tickets$$$. I want to personally appoligize to anyone I offended with my foul reply earlier. I was just looking for anyway to save a buck so I can possibly retire someday.

Sweetnautique...take it easy on the judgemental part! You have 10 posts, hardly enough to know all the folks on this site.I re-read the original post and really don't know what ruffled your feathers? I am sure no one entended to do so.

Gas...high prices suck and we are all in the same boat(pun intended)...I still plan to be on the water...and plan to be bitching at the pump! The sad truth of it all is (IMO) there really is not much we can do about it

I in no way intended to offend anyone,including you, but, You set the tone of the post. ( calling anyone a d*ck IS offensive!) I have posted on this site for some time and have NEVER had problems with anyone here and dont intend to start now!

Im a working Joe like most of the guys here. AND gas prices are killing me also!

Like stang says you havent been posting long enough to know anyone here. A LOT of us have talked personally and actually met each other.. ALL have been GREAT!

So as I said before if you want to enjoy this great site.. WELCOME! (and i mean that sincerly) if not, and your the one that said it, dont join" its your option..

now like the great rodney king said.. "cant we all just get along?"

Wood 62 I couldn't agree with you more. I'll see at Green Lake for an old fashion foot off!

gas is what it is you need it youll buy it
be thankful your not in england at 7-8 $ gal
if fuel economy is what you desire get
a bayliner

I agree, the gas prices suck. Here are a few things that will help:
Make sure your engine is tuned up. New plugs, rotor, cap, points if you've got them. Modify your driving habbits. There's no need to slam the throtle all the way forward. Give it just enough gas to get on plane quickly and stay on plane. And get rid of the extra weight, including the extra 1000 pounds of water some are carrying around.
That's the most effective way to save money on fuel.

Hey Jimbo, You for got the High speed power turns when the skeir falls. That junk isn't necessary nor the BIG rollers that result from it!
