wickedwake 08-31-2005, 5:57 PM

Yeah, gas prices hit 5.25$ down the road in ATL today. Most of Auburn Alabama is out of gas!!!

This freakin blows...

(wakeboardqueen)

drew_a6 08-31-2005, 6:32 PM

a few gas stations in LaGrange, GA shut down...it sucks...good thing i filled up 2 days ago

robertt 08-31-2005, 6:51 PM

Hahaha, the marina on my lake has an old pump....2.99 is as high as it goes. They have to hold that price until next year when they will get a new pump.

Before long, I might be filling up tanks in my boat and bringing them to my truck.

Gas jumped from $2.73 to $2.93 this afternoon in Queen Creek AZ,probably higher in other parts of the state.

That sucks cuz the weekend aint even here yet,and I gotta feel up tomorrow

wakeskirider 08-31-2005, 7:22 PM

Wakeboarding is already considered more of a rich kid sport in America to most. This is not going to help the sport. Boats keep getting bigger and bigger and suck more and more gas. I think I am going to hold out to but a boat till they come out with the nuclear powered Malibu.

With prices so high, at least the lakes will be a bit emptier this weekend.

natxbrotha 08-31-2005, 8:07 PM

that might be true paul, but those fishermen and jetskiers will still be there with there little fuel effecient motors! it went from 2.69 to 2.89 just today in DFW texas. looks like we wont be riding with ballast anymore!

in parts of college park maryland where i was driving for regular it was $3.50 but 5 mins down the road it was $2.79 and you bet there were cars lined up at that gas station

dahui 08-31-2005, 8:28 PM

Hey Steve, Im in Queen Creek too. Ive never seen your Sanger out at Saguaro. What days do you go out? Anyways gas just hit around $3 here.

in Orlando, was 2.54 the last few days, but now 2.90 and i'm sure it will be higher by noon tomm.

(just_board) · (just_board) **Join Date: Jul 2005** 08-31-2005, 9:38 PM

2.52 monday night.. I figure, eh, it'll come down another .02.. I'm quite sure I paid 2.79 for it yesterday, and then today it is 2.89..

The Hurricane even reaches as far as Kansas City, Missouri..

(tyboarder03) · (tyboarder03) **Join Date: Nov 2003** 08-31-2005, 9:40 PM

Well i know im fillin up tommorrow before it possibly goes up but were anywhere from 2.40 to 2.80 in Oregon, but it was there before the hurricane, i just hope it doesnt go up for a while.

I think I got the last 2.69 here now it's at $3

3.01 for regular today. Same pump was charging 2.81 less than one week ago.

Cheapest place where I fill up on the way to the lake in NC was $2.99 yesterday. That's okay, I have money that I haven't even made yet.

What boat uses the least amount of gas with stock ballast? I would have to guess a SAN.

$2.56 South Tampa, FL. They asked to conserve gas. I'm sorry to all, but I'm going out this Sunday. The (poopie) thing about this weekend is that I'm still in my cast. I get to be a drunken spectator.

(lop) · (lop) **Join Date: Aug 2005** 09-01-2005, 4:28 AM

woody - I am thinking the Mbsport with the 2 speed tranny would be the best on gas, can any of you owners back me on this?

(loudontn) · (loudontn) **Join Date: Feb 2005** 09-01-2005, 5:06 AM

3.09 in East TN. Expected to go up. Lakeside is nearly 4 something. :-(

(taylormade) · (taylormade) **Join Date: Jun 2001** 09-01-2005, 5:22 AM

J, where the hell are you getting gas at $2.56 in South Tampa? It's $2.90 everywhere I'm looking. I filled up the Denali (30 gallons) and three 5 gallon tanks on Monday, when it was $2.48.

(wakeguru) · (wakeguru) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 09-01-2005, 5:28 AM

Stock weighted SAN has a nice wake, but I think we should all GO WEIGHTLESS. It will help your riding and conserve fuel for the greater good.

Macdill. F-150 has two 16 gallons tanks, Suburban 29 gallons I think and the boat has a 36 g's. The only thing that saves me is the broke foot. I cant drive, so it forces me to car pool.

i was filling up at a gas station here in new jersey at 2.75 this morning. As soon as I left they were changing the prices to $3.05 a gallon.

robertt 09-01-2005, 6:51 AM

I have the solution. They say that if the average MPG for the commuter cars in america went up 6MPG there would no longer be a crisis of any kind.

Well, that might not happen, but if most of America went to 4 - 10 hour days it would cut out 20% of fuel use.

Three day weekends every weekend!

thats ok in Canada its around $4.00 a gallon in some parts....and we have the 2nd biggest supply in the world....

(denverd1)

The major oil importing station in the gulf has been closed temporarily. 1.1 million barrels a day has stopped

i got one of those chain texts yesterday, saying not to buy gas on the 1st and to send to 10 ppl... it made me laugh! people think that if they don't buy gas for a day that prices will come down for them. not going to happen

(newmy79) · (newmy79) **Join Date: Jun 2005** 09-01-2005, 10:29 AM

the highest i've seen in jersey was $3.02, but mostly ranging from $2.69-$2.99., however the gulf coast does supply the northeast with 1/3 of our oil so we are soon f'ed!! i mean i am complaining about gas prices and my commutes, but I saw a fuggin pic on the net today of gas prices $5.87 in GA...now's that's just freaking WRONG!!! imagine when people need to heat their f'in homes this winter...it's just getting way out of hand...

(dustin_c_wilson)

$3.20 in Memphis and they are saying that the city will be out of gas by Labor Day.

Gas here went from $2.59 on monday to $3.29 today at some stations (that still have gas)

Our moronic gov. gave a statement that there was going to be a shortage of gas due to a pipeline not working. Now there are many gas stations that don't have gas.

Yea, i heard in parts of georgia it was getting close to 6.00$ a gallon, thats nuts. I seriously would be riding a bike, there is no way in hell i could afford that! I'm so happy i moved away from there!

wakegal02 09-01-2005, 2:22 PM

they really need solar powered boats, i mean come on most boats sit out in the sun all day long, why not get a little bonus from that. i know those would be expensive but they have to start making them sometime to allow the prices to go down.

i don't know why it's so complicated and expensive but i guess i'm not a genius in science.

Let's see. BP would stand for British Petroleum. Everytime we turn around, we have to help the Brits. Now look how we are repayed. That's the highest I've seen. Maybe they can take some of those profits and buy themselves a real military so we don't have to bail them out constantly.

Destin Florida..... just filled up..... regular is $3.69. One AFB ran out of gas and the other is limiting to $20 a car. They claim it'll be much higher each and every day. I gotta ride this weekend too. This is killing wakeboarding!

I also feel for people that have family's down there that they have not been able to get in touch with. What totally disgusts me is a government that tells people to leave, knowing most of them neither have the transportation or the money to leave. After the fact, they have the money to provide relief aid when in fact that money should have been put up front to evacuate the people that were unable to do so. That would have saved lives and brought peace of mind to alot of families.

$3.39 today in my area (8 miles north of trenton, nj), but some stations are $2.99!
40 cents difference and the higher price is at GASCO! Guess who owns all these no-name brand stations! (hint:non-americans)

I'm glad I filled everything up last weekend!
We're getting fleeced and our government won't help with price control!

jayp 09-01-2005, 6:49 PM

$2.99 for premium in downtown Portland. Looks like a bargain compared to some places. And we usually have some of the highest prices. Glad the boat has a full tank for tommorrow evening. I am going to feel guilty out there burning up gas wakeboarding though.

I drove over 200 miles around Chicago Suburbs today and didn't see anything less than $3.09/gal for 87 octane. Highest is right near my house..$3.49 for the cheap stuff...and I'm in Indiana!

So far we aren't to high in Seattle yet at $2.79 tonight, but I'm sure in the morning it will be up atleast 10 cents. We should feel lucky really though, it was already over $3 a gallon in Hawaii before the hurricane, and thats with a "Gas Cap" on wholesale gasoline.

Jamie, i hear you there. When I first started driving I remember paying as low as 65 cents a gallon. One thing that really pisses me off though is after 9/11, gas companies got in trouble for price gouging. Well, what do you call this. I know the president doesn't have all the power, but there has to be some government intervention at some point. If there isn't, we are going to see price increases on absolutely everything. Think of how many products that are used everyday contain petroleum. Something has to be done soon!

(aracinelli) · (aracinelli) **Join Date: Oct 2004** 09-02-2005, 9:35 AM

These gas prices really suck. Have'nt went outside yet to see the prices today but I guess we are expecting somewhere around $4 a gallon soon here on the Colorado River. Sure makes it hard to train the kids. We now take shorter sets but it seems to make us have more quality runs. We've had glass all week, seems as though most are content to float or sit on the beach. It's usually crazy for this weekend but most are not traveling. That's the only positive thing for us wakeboarders.

corkyswx2 09-02-2005, 10:04 AM

We're at $3.29 in KC.. I'm for sure filling up before we get to the lake tomorrow! I can only imagine what the marina prices are.

(denverd1)

the government has loaned oil from its reserves to major oil companies for refining. European officials are considering sending supplies to the US as part of an accord among Int'l Energy Agency members to share during emergencies." hmm.. I think Europeans should send their damn oil sooner. "13 major refineries are still not operating. GOOD NEWS: the offshore oil port allowed tankers to unload crude for the first time since Aug. 27. Production in the Gulf has not yet been resumed as many platforms and rigs were damaged or sunk." probably take a while for prices to settle down

oh yeah, crude prices are down 2.50 per barrel today

When I was in AZ earlier in the week, the river was pretty empty. Just the usual jetski crowds around Laughlin, pretty bare around the Needles, Fort Mohave area. If it was that empty most the time, I'd spend more time at my folks house in Fort mohave

Lines are starting to pop up here in NoCal, had to wait today, and two stations were empty/out of gas. The cashier said their prices were gonna spike today or tommarow, diesel was raised 28 cents a gallon over night at that station.
