Hate to bring up boating...

...but the average price of gasoline has hit a record nationally, even
adjusted for inflation, according to CNN this morning.
The average price is now higher than quoted in this squib:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. average retail gasoline prices have reached
a new high of almost $3.20 per gallon and will likely jump another 20
to 30 cents in the next month, worsening the pain of consumers
struggling to make ends meet in an economic downturn.
$3.22, according to CNN.
This is going to have a major impact on almost all aspects of boating,
I would guess. Ironic, because I was looking at a huge set of photos
from the recent Miami International Boat Show, and almost everyone
seemed to be offering ever larger boats, including many outboard
models with three or four engines.
Maybe that's why there is so much discussion here of guitars, stock
car racing, television set, et cetera... :)
I wonder if there will be a renewed interest in sailing?
Exxon bought the wind.
