I just filled up the boat with fuel so as not to get condensation over the winter. I had already put 10 gallons in last week at $2.759/gal. Took another 24 gallons and $61.42 at $2.559/gal. $89.03 total :mad: <br />Yes I added Stabile. ;)

Re: Sticker Shock

Let's see boat has 42gal tank, the truck has a 40 gal. tank. Now if both are on "E" that’s.....38 x $2.50= $95.00 for the truck and 40 x $2.65 (High Test) =$106.00 for a combined total of.....$201.00. Moral of the story never fill both at once, and never ever take the wife along if you do.

Filled the boat and the truck last night for $2.289. Still outrageous but better than a few weeks ago.

Summer's over, people driving less, not going on vacation, not using boats as much. Gas always goes up during summer and on holidays just to screw us out of more money.

Stop talking about it... you're making me sick (just kiddin'). I'm filling them tomorrow... so much for that check! I shouldn't complain too much... the trips I've taken have been fabulous!
