Will rising fuel costs affect your trip to Moab in any way? Going or not? Number of trails? The vehicle you take?

Not at all.
I commented to the Wife that Diesel is going to be $4.00 a gallon by the time we leave for Moab. Guess that means I'll have to put 4 inch exhaust and a tuner in my Powerstroke. Strictly for the economy increases of course.:firedevil

Not only no, but hell no. I've already budgeted for $4.00 a gallon gas. If gas isn't that high, it just means I've got more money to spend on beer.

If it was $5.00 a gallon I would still go. I am not about to stop living because gas is expensive!
As Randy said...plenty of time to plan accordingly.

I didn't go to the Moab FF in 05 or 06 because gas was too high at ( OMG ) $2.50 per gallon. I am going in 08 if I have to eat PB&J for the whole week.

Last year when I was planning my 2+ week expedition through CO and UT, my mom asked me why I was planning such a long trip with a lot of driving with gas prices so high.
My answer was that I would kick myself for not doing it now when gas prices are $5+/gallon in a few years.
Gas prices can only go up.....so drive now before they really become cost prohibitive.
That's my 2 cents

I figure I want to be the broke guy that attended and had a good time than the broke guy sitting at home wondering how much fun is happening in Moab.

The only thing fuel prices will effect is how much money I spend for the trip.
I'm going no matter what!!

We're going even if we have to spend the whole $3k tax return on diesel.

I answered no, but it may speed up the purchase of a tow rig that can get double digit MPGs......
Since I don't have far to drive, I may as well not worry about gas...:huh: :doh: . Actually there is 4 of us going so I'll only have to pay for a 1/4 of the gas...$200 at least. BTW if you see an old Red 87 Cherokee Chief with an Alabama tag on the side of I-70, he may need to borrow a gallon of gas :laugh3:
