Whopper Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) I sat here last year and stated that no matter what gas cost I was going to get my trips in. Well after last weeks trip I may have to rethink this matter, stopped for gas in Vermillion Bay and I had close to a quarter tank of gas left,(24gallon tank) filled up .....$95.00, went in to pay and handed the girl a $100.00 and she asked my how much I got and I said $95.00 and even she was shocked. Saw gas for as cheap (LOL) as $3.06 a gallon all the way up to $1.24 a liter, needless to say besides my outfitters fee gas was the biggest expense for my trip. Not complaining because it was worth it just thought I share some info for those about to imbark. Whopper Edited May 30, 2007 by Whopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whopper Yep, with the northern Ontario outfitters customer base being 80-90% American, I'm positive they're going to see a reduction in visitors. They're going to feel the squeeze as I'm sure there's going to be a lot of people opting to spend their money at home..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Well lets see.Do you let the thieven,low down monkey ball scatchers,throw thier mama from a high rise dude,n govermint people control my ways,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Kinda,but the hell with them. Take my money, go ahead. Hell you can kiss my royal white honky ass. Now that that has been said,I will spend proby 200 bucks in fuel this weekend. Trucks on empty,boat needs 80 litres for a pike tourney this weekend.Then both the truck and the boat will need to be topped up again another 150 or so. Now this will be a hit to the pocket,but acouple of days on the water with my pop and friends,it will be all worth it. Anyone that wants to go fishing the upcoming weekends,everything is 50/50.
