just curious what everyone thinks??

I will make 1 or 2 trips to ride the sleds(pro x 700, indy 500) north at parents and ride the trails around home more on the beaters( sport,xcr440). Either way, I will spend less during the summer to save $$$$ for winter riding.

Snot going to stop me from riding.Start saving your change now.


man its going to be a long summer.............

not one bit i snowmobile for relaxation and sport. I only spend maybe $1000 a year on fuel for sledding so whats another 25% increase, like $250. I guess i just won't buy a pipe for my sled this year. A lot of the spots on the trails that i ride already had $4 gas or more just because of the conveinance of buying on the trail.

thats good to hear people are staying strong. I can see people going on trips with more people to cut costs and trail riding doese waste alot of gas so i can see it affecting those people some. it will suck cuz to fill up will be $60 if it is 4 on the highway it will be 5 on the trail. o well there is no price on fun

come to Canada if you think $4.00 is high we are currently paying close to $7.00 a gallon

FWIW The fuel cost put a squeeze on my riding, and the amount of riding I did this past season.. 2 kids 3 sleds to feed in fuel and a diesel excursion with a 44 gal tank towing a 4 place enclosed.. hit the saving fund but good.

we had record snow fall all over NE States this year but also record fuel costs.. sucks but what ya gona do

I choose wisley and already started my fuel fund for next season.. it will never get back to where we thought it was normal..

hell if you look at it gallons of anything costs they are over or close to 3 - 4 $ a gallon Milk, Coke, Pepsi

whine whine...blah blah

guess what fun costs money

like another guy on here said

i spend my money on sleddin and women

and

i waste the rest

LOL shed!! I agree.

Wont change anything except maybe me wasting money this summer that i will save for sledding instead.

wont change me at all....ill start saving now. I cant wait for my new sled!!

Not even if gas hits 10.00 bucks a gallon, it makes no difference to me. I go to wal-mart they have lots of free gas around, just need a long hose. Big parking lots with no cameras on the far parking areas, got to love those big SUV. Sure hold a lot of fuel on them.

O-I only get my fuel from the out of state plates.

$3.00 to $4.00 is a 33% increase. Which is less that the 200% percent increase from $1.00 to $3.00. Yeah you burn money down but the step shock is over. To quite for #33% is just wrong and let the tree huggers and friend in congress win with there implied taxes to raise the fuel to prices they have always dreamed about. Resist and kick the anit-americans out of congress, long live the Yankee!!!

depends, if the economy slows down, and the cities cant do updates or reconstruction of there streets and utilities then i dont work, i dont work i dont play.

if we have a great year which i doubt very much then i might ride a lot.

its gonna empty my wallet faster....thats about it.
I dont care what it costs, dang right im ridin!

No effect at all on next season. I'm actually planning on upping the motor with more ponies under the hood. Gas prices can do what ever.

I'll sell the dog and maybe even one of the children before I have to cut back on snowmobiling due to the price of gas !

Priorities !

I will probably leave the sleds at the cabin and hope we get some snow. Race more then trail ride.

you guys think the price of gas is gonna kill you for sledding this winter. wait and see what who ever it is that actually runs your country is threatening to do right now.... shut down the pipeline from fort mcmurray alberta (where i live) to the u.s. because they say our oil is dirty because of ducks landing in a tailings pond and dying. i'm sure that will put a spike in the gas prices.

Where i live the prices never even hit $4.00 a gallon yet, but almost there $3.75/gallon(87 Octane). I live 8 miles from Alpine oil rig, 22 miles from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

For me gas just hit 3.50 a gallon but that isnt going to stop me. I put on 3229 miles on this year. But I have to work hardder in the summer and plant more corn than soybeans.

P.S. Im a farmer

$3.84 here by me in wisconsin...hope like same winter like last so i can ride local trails again like years ago

Will not affect it at all. Wife works too, makes good money.

In Finland where i live we are paying 1.62€/ litre, it makes about 9$ a gallon....

Gonna have to cut my trips short this winter! The f'in gas prices suck!

I will ride the same amount whether it's $5 a gallon or $10 a gallon.

Fueling the tow rig is what really hurts.

We tow anywhere from 500-1000 miles round trip, that hurts.

its not going to effect me because my dad is the one that pays and i know he wont cut back. the only thing that might hold me back a little is high school hockey.

It will not hurt me one bit. Its 3.78 a gal of gas here in Fargo ND. But the worst is still to come.

Keeps me off the sled, I sold it and am really debating buying a new one?

Wont stop me on probably the most favorite thing i like to do and nothing is gonna stop me from doing what my most favorite thing to do best and that is SNOWMOBILING

I will be good till @ $6.00 a gall then I will get a new sled By then every company will have a sled that gets over 20 mpg, 2 stroke, I fig 2 more years at this rate Jx

I am not happy, putting in the sled is bad but @ $490 a gallon to fuel my diesel truck to get there is really what sucks!!!

I'm with you on the diesel fuel. Bought a cheap little car to make up on the fuel prices for the summer and that is helping A LOT. Went from 18 to 35 MPG avg. and saving over $1.00 a gallon on gas. I'm putting about $100 a week savings away just on gas in a $400 car. It sucks not driving my truck, but the checkbook balance sure takes some of the suck away.
