Name that crude oil price per barrel!

[Fman]

So what is your prediction for crude oil prices this summer per barrel? I think we are at $104/barrel right now, I am predicting $140-$150 per barrel, which would equate to about $5.00-$5.25 per gallon in California. Plus tach on another $1/gallon at the Marina.

$5 x 40-45 gallons = $200-$225 per fill up!
$6 x 40-45 gallons = $240-$270 per fill up!

On a more positive note, spring is getting close and all the lakes in Nor-cal are looking great! Should be an awesome season!

It's gonna be bad. I figure about $4.50 - $5.00/gal. My figuring is about $200/day to ride behind the Saltare. Won't stop me from getting out and it'll hurt every time, but hopefully it'll keep some of the riff-raff off the water.

good year to pick up used boats. And tow rigs. two years ago gas went to $1.20 per liter in canada all the big blocks value dropped to half!

As much as it pains to say, I don't think there's any way it'll stay below $140.
It will most definitely be a tough summer with gas prices, but I'm going to do my best to avoid reflecting on it. Just fill the boat up, thinking of all the great family memories to be had on the water, and go on our way for some good riding. I, too, am hopeful high gas prices will keep some of the crazies off the lake, but I doubt it, especially since they don't get hit as hard as us since we all weight the boats down so much. (although, I guess a couple hundred lb's of liquor counts)

I'm thinking about converting my boat to CNG and having the governent give me a Tax break on it while I'm paying $1.49 a galllon all day..

I agree Scott, as costly as it will be, still worth the expense. Maybe expect the worse and hope for the best. It already costs $125 to take my family out to the movies (w/tickets, and food), whats another $150 on top of it for a full day on the water!

Yeah, I'd say we're probably going to see $150 a barrel. It's really sad because it doesn't NEED to be this way. If we would just drill and explore more in our own country, we could have a big impact on the whole issue. Granted, we aren't going to extract the oil and just keep it here, it would go into the world
