Count me in that group, but I use diesel for travel and saw $4.00 gal. today in Spokane, Washington, as well as Post Falls, Idaho ( at a Flyin' J yet).

Absolutely.  At least it didn't start to go way up until near the end of the season.
Below the radar.  Under the glass.

I'm not happy, went to Kalispell two weekends in a row for the perch assault and it cost me almost 600 bucks in just deisel. Couldn't believe it. Was going to head east this month but not sure if I want to now..

I have a jar of Vaseline in the truck for when I stop for fuel.
With all the oil underground in this state this is just stupidity.
Get bit!

There are so many things that are true, even if they never really happened

It jumped a lot here in Lewistown.  Luckily there are a few ponds close to keep me entertained but this summer is going to suck.  I had planned on buying a boat so I could do some serious fishing on the larger reservoirs.  Now it looks like I won't be able to afford the fuel if I bought one.   :'(

I drive 1200 miles every other weekend and the diesel prices are insane right now. I have a diesel car that gets between 40mpg and 50mpg depending on what I am doing but it costs me a ton more to make the drive than it did even a year ago.

I've got a two man cataraft sitting at a friend's place in Oregon, I really should haul it over here one day but we have a canoe here and that is what I do 99% of my summer fishing from.

I'm buying a boat this year and am totally pissed about what they're saying gas prices are going to be.  It's not bad yet, but when the gas starts hitting around $4.00 a gallon, it' going to make a $50.00 fishing trip $100.00.  That totally sucks and is really not necessary.........
