Well, don't just sit there...

Go get some of that $3.60 a gallon gas and fill him up and go back out there and RIDE!!! This time, make sure that someone takes a PICTURE of you riding and POST IT HERE!!

Glad you got a little bit of seat time, anyhow!!

If you live in California you can get some $ 4.01 allon gas. I am not sure if it will take you any further or give you any more power but it will increase the value of your cub by a few dollars.

Good times even at $4.00 a gallon. Remember when you could fillup the pickup and get a soda for $20.

Thats been a while out here

$4.03 at the pump here today. I am not looking forward to filling up the boat with diesel this summer. I hear the marinas are now around $5. Lets see, 1100 gallons.............Ok, forget that.
Lets see, burning 55 gallons per hour @ $5.............. OH FORGET IT! I'm staying at the dock!

[Pony Master]

Okay I have to ask. 1100 gallons and 55 gallons per hour what is this thing the USS Abraham Lincoln? $5 a gallon and 55 gph will buy you a lot of Cubs.

You may have to put the boat in dry dock and live in it.

Last year we went to Alaska for three months in the motorhome. This year we could not afford it

Pony, it's a 50' Bertram sport fish.
Bob, yes, it will be at the dock quite a bit this year.
I'm lucky I didn't run it down to FL for the winter this year. It would be stranded there now because the marine fuel had doubled. I simply can't afford it. It used to cost $12k one way just in fuel.
Sorry to hijack this thread. Now, back to our regulary scheduled program.............Good quality seat time

I can remember when 5.00 would fill-up the truck and buy a soda. Also I remember a man fussing about it costing just over 7.00 to fill his new '58 Olds .

I remember $5 dates! $1 for gas @.24.9 cents per gallon,a dinner of Kenny burgers @ $0.19, frys $0.10, $0.10 for a large fountain drink. $1.59 per car at the local drive-in, change left for popcorn.

I think we are dating ourself though.
Best,

Guys,

You're killin' me! Yes those were the good ole days.

Never thought I'd see a time when milk was cheaper than gas.

Relative to the initial post about driving to the post office, does anyone know what kind of gas mileage a Cub gets? I've often wondered whether the Cub gets better mileage than my truck for running errands close to home. That's aside from the pure fun factor of course!!
