Default Marine Diesel Prices are Outrageous

I have no sympathy for anybody who runs a diesel engine for recreational
purposes. Don't you realize how much pollution a marine diesel engine
produces? It's totally selfish and irresponsible. Anybody running a
marine diesel for recreational purposes is sick in my opinion. No regard
whatsoever for clean air and a clean marine environment. When somebody's
'fun' takes precedence over my rights (to a clean environment) then I
cannot excuse such hedonism.

I wish they'd jack the price of recreational marine diesel up to about
fifty bucks a gallon. Maybe people would be forced to buy
environmentally friendly sailboats that use small, clean-air, 4-stroke,
gasoline outboards when needed but use sails most of the time. When
your 'cruising' is a blatant act of pollution and you don't even realize
it then you're just clueless and nobody I want to associate with....

Wait a minute!!.......

Isn't this the same person who posted a while back that he used TBT in
his antifouling?

God is great!!! This man has had a sudden about-face conversion into
an environmentalist!

How did this inspirational sudden insight take place Wilbur? Was in
whilst you were sniffing your petrol tank? I have heard a lot about
the evils of petrol sniffing but never diesel sniffing; another reason
why is it is more socioenvironmentally friendly.

Ever so kindest regards
