Well even if gas is held to under $4 on shore it certainly wont be on the water which is where we have to buy gas.

In actuality based on on average gas cost last year it's another 10 to 15% which is a good chuck of change when you range as far up and down the lake as we do.

We will definitely run the boat on the lowest RPMs we can get away with. I will definitely think about staying tied up on those days when the fishing is marginal - but then again my sanity is recouped on the water and for that almost any price is worth it.

But we did make a change this year moving from one of the best marinas on the East side of Lake Michigan to a lesser marina that is 5 minutes from home instead of an hour from home. Our cost savings in transit gas and slip fees will more then offset rising gas prices - but u can only do that so much then everything overtakes cost savings. But savings are important when you expect to consume well in excess of 1000 gallons.
