I considered that but the vehicle wouldn't be delivered to the airport. I would need to get a taxi to pick it up and return it. To me that was one more issue I didn't want to deal with.
If it was only a matter of $20 per tank of gas I wouldn't have even started this thread...
How big is your gas tank?
Twenty five gallons.
Well, I'm self employed in the construction trades and for several months now I've been dropping between $250.00 to $300.00 in fuel in my truck a week. I would imagine that number will now jump to 300.00 to 350.00 or better a week. We'll still set sail for camp in Huntingdon as per usual. The only thing that will change is the length of time we stay. The 3 day weekend will now go 4 or 5 days when I can schedule the time and I won't run the Tpk any more we'll just plan on leaving at a time when the beltway out around Harrisburg is running light with traffic. Look'n forward to the Grannom hatch and big browns on the LJ.
Cheaper bourbon...... Blasphemy! LOL
I think 22 gallons. Gas has been what 3.30 a gallon? I don’t really keep track of it. I do know it was 2.34 a gallon on a particular date a little over a year ago. i do know it has been going up steadily ever since that particular date. Now it’s shot up a dollar so I guess it’s gonna cost me an extra 22 dollars. I do realize every day that number goes up so let’s just say it costs me an extra hundred dollars for a tank of gas I’m still not limiting my fishing time. I do know that every week thousands of dollars are taken from me and that’s what has me limiting the things I do or don’t do. It always has and will continue to do so for Me and a great many others.
I agree with you and I think your 20 buck a fill estimate was pretty accurate.
Ok - makes sense then - paying thousands of dollars per week in taxes, etc puts things in perspective and I can understand that at that level an extra few hundred bucks in gas costs is probably not a limiting factor.
