Fuel prices

Are fuel prices inhibiting your "play" time?

You have to have your priorities!!!

I guess, the way I look at it is that with the way the weather has been, my play time has been frozen anyway.

It is getting expensive to keep the house warm.

Bring on Spring !!

No, not yet. The water is too cold to put the boat in. Those trips
to the canyon (for tuna) may require some "fund reallocation".

Diesel is flirting with $2/gal around here. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

I'm a seasonal tractor driver. My property is 70 miles away so we don't use it in the winter. Last summer diesel fuel was around $1.50 I can't imagine what the price will be this summer when I will want to play.

Ooops, wrong forum. I see this subject is already discussed in the correct forum. Sorry!

I paid $1.87 for diesel about a week ago. This week it's up to $2.05. At this rate of inflation and assuming factors causing the price rise remain constant causing the upward trend to continue (not likely though), it'll hit $10.00 by the summer. Then, yes, it certainly will delay projects I had in mind for this summer and fall.

My New Holland TC24D uses about 5 gallons in a 10 hour day when used for heavy scraping and climbing at about 2600 RPM.
Fuel prices kind of stink at a little less than $2.00 dollars a gallon for diesel.
My biggest gripe is hauling all that fuel in my Suburban. I have 2 five-gallon metal cans and feel I am always pumping fuel into the tractor. I am so glad I went with the New Holland instead of the John Deere 4010 with a 3.? Fuel tank.

I paid $1.89 a gallon last night in Western Michigan. It doesn't affect my tractor time but I wish I didn't have to pay so much.
