All I know is when I first got my boat it was at that 1.75/gal
so, average day of off shore I burn 35 Gal and it cost me $65 plus injection oil (that cost is up too)
Now 35 Gal at 3.65 is $127 bucks for the day.
Consider I always have min of 1 other guy on the boat,,
That's still cheaper than a charter boat.
I know, I have to pay for the boat, tow insurance, boat insurance, maint. bla bla bla. Heard it all from the wife. Who Cares when your having so much fun!
All this means to me is you have to stay on the water longer to get your moneys worth
If you don't like the cost don't buy the gas, that will show them. LOL
