What’s your fuel price limit?

[phildobaggins]

I'm going to try to start remote work if prices touch $7.

This year I'm doing less day hunting and more camping hunts. A few years ago I'd drive from Wenatchee to Kettle Falls in the early AM, hunt all day, go drop my buddy off in Omak, and then drive back to Wenatchee. That would hurt a lot more now, but not sure how bad I'll miss those long days

Can't put a price on sanity.
I'll eat top ramen for a month...I'm going to put miles on the truck and boat without hesitation.

Yep, Ive always allowed myself to drive where ever i wanted when ever I wanted. Being able to drive is freedom to me. It keeps me sane being able to get away if just for a walk in nature.

But I must admit, after getting my latest gas card statement yesterday, that way of living is going to be tested.

No limit unless it's high enough for mad max issues. I was already planning to hunt a bit closer to home though with no out of state trips this year. My light in its loafers vehicle is pretty efficient thankfully.

I am fortunate to be financially stable, so hunting will continue regardless. However, I do plan to maximize my hunts by far fewer solo runs. Fuel costs can be lighter and the enjoyment I get hunting with friends is a bonus. 124 mile round trip to my area is bouts $50 in diesel right now. 9 trips a month, it just means I'll need to shoot a bit better and save the money there!

12-15$ per gallon I would guess.

You'd go hunting during a civil War? They hit $10 a gallon and those retards in Washington DC will see what a real insurrection looks like. There will be no liberal hearings or liberal media to cover it.

Hungry people get violent and they know exactly who caused their pain!

Yeah, $15/gal would be nuts.  I think it will be half that here, maybe up to $8.
The other costs of fuel increases seem to be overlooked (to a degree) for some reason--food prices, delivery costs, plastics, machines, yard work, etc.

The prediction is crude oil will hit $140 / barrel by August.  That's another 20% which will bring the average cost per gallon to of gas to $6 and diesel $7.50.  I truly believe those to be conservative estimates and think that could double with one or two major events.  Hurricane that takes out one major refinery, Russia or N. Korea to launch a nuke, etc.....   

50 gallon diesel tank on my truck filled when 3/4 empty is a $250 dollar bill.

Buy the oil stocks, they are choosing to take the profit instead of increasing production so at least you can get some of your money back in dividends.

Notice how neither party is saying much to them about it..

It is a precarious market, and won't take much to push it up another notch.

I'll see your truck's tank and raise you another 1350 gallons of boat fuel tankage though    Just filled 'er up for $4.76 and am glad I did it now.  There is real talk of $6+ diesel up here by the end of the summer.  The place I order my fuel from dollar-cost-averages the fuel in their tanks with every barge delivery, so we're just a little behind on the price increases right now, but will be paying higher than everybody else here soon.

Oil changes getting painful, too - a 55 gallon barrel of oil is over $1k now as well.

I just took 25,000 gals the other day. We go through about 50 gallons a hour running to the ground, just ran 24hrs. When fishing though we are down to 650-700 a day.

At a certain point  fuel costs will inhibit the ability to do business. Take a lesson from 2007,-8 and what happened when it hit $5 a gallon. The economy tanked. If you don't think that is gonna happen again your crazy.

I will just be hunting close to home this year, hopefully stick a deer right away for the freezer and call it good, maybe try calling in a cat.

I was gonna comment on my brothers logging operation but got slapped down by the 600 gallons a day!

Not looking forward to the 1800+ mile drive to WI at the end of June pulling a trailer and getting less than 10 mpg....
