Most of the people in rec.boats who complain about the price of gas, are
driving trucks with low mpg and boats that burn tons of gas. If they
really were concerned about the price of gas, they would buy a hybrid car
and a either a trawler or sailboat.

They refuse to see the obvious. Consumers will not buy a fuel efficient
car or boat, or pay for alternative energy sources until the cost of
petrol fuels make it worth while to do so.

That's silly. There are plenty of fuel efficient cars being sold. It's been
that way for years. Even a basic Corolla gets over 30 mpg. Same with models
from Honda. Dealers don't need to whore these out with stupid "employee
discount" offers, as do the big 3.
