The owner of the boat decided not to do a fill up, but owner still choked at the cost of a measly 300 gallons, though the tanks held 800. We'll see about that, soon enough.
Oil prices effect the cost of everything.
Which led me to wonder about all those people running around in new SUVs the size of a small bus, and guzzling along at 10-12 miles per gallon. A neighbor down the street just got a Ford Expedition that absolutely dwarfs my GMC Jimmy, which barely gets 16 in town. This is mindful, after the 1973-74 Arab oil embargo, of how quickly all those full size Detroit cars disappeared and the little Japanese imports flooded our market. To get rid of your Cadillac or Buick, you practically had to give it away. But road vehicle fuel costs are small potatoes compared to boats.
