Miles of smiles and worth whatever it costs!! One winter few years back we were paying around $4. that was a tough winter!! Yup I’ll do it but it hurts. It definitely effects the amount of trips and riding some will do and that effects small business which was my point in saying that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All middle class people that own those businesses and the same middle class that will spend the money. The middle class will be effected the most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No road access they bring it in with a groomer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X2700 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 If government was going to subsidize anything should be fuel!! low fuel cost means more money spent elsewhere! If I remember correctly the winter after the one with high fuel prices was like half the price? we figured we stayed at hotel and drove up for what it cost in fuel just to get up north year before!!

E85 wouldn't survive the market on it's own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
