I will use mine as much as possible this summer no matter what the prices are. I have the advantage of trailer for cheaper gas to fill up. As we move towards summer, I'm sure there will be more pics and more talk about how high the prices will be in CA - since they lead the nation. It would suck to live there.

I have an easy answer for this, been practicing this for the years: I don't add up my gas receipts, so I do not think about it in the "total amount spent" text. Out of site - out of mind b/c I know I will dwell on it. When the boat gets to 1/4 tank - head to the gas station. If I spend $250 or $500 a month, in the long-run I would still rather be on the lake with family/friends. I'm greatful to be in financial position to do that.

Probably going to be a BIG SWING this November in elections (and I'm glad - sorry Dems). The average person (either D or R) will be looking for the person who supports cheaper food, cheaper gas, and safety. What happens two more years after for the Prez Cycle is not worth it to worry about. So much will change between now and then.

I will say this, when I have that double-pumper going (Excursion and SL needing gas all at once), I need to shotgun a beer when I hit the water. Two swipes of the credit card for triple digit gas fill up - ouch.
