@a75g2000cwd.googlegroups.com: Seemed to work just fine then. But, then again, you and I didn't LIVE through rationing in WW2. I lived through "rationing" in the bogus "fuel shortage" of 1973, where all the gas stations, full to overflowing with gas, were simply closed to boost the prices. At the time, I owned a motorhome with saddle tanks and they opened the stations one day a week with no limits on how much you could buy. I filled the motorhome and parked it at home with 70 gallons of gas in it. To go with the motorhome, I had a little Honda 90 motorcycle for local transportation when vacationing in the motorhome. I drove the Honda, except on really rainy days, for the rest of the "gas crisis", which was totally bogus. My uncle is a private pilot. He took a news photographer, from the local newspaper in PA, for a ride out over the ocean during the crisis to show him the huge line of tankers waiting offshore to come into port and dump all the gas aboard. Bogus, just a battle between America and Big Oil to jack the prices to current levels. Just like the inflated price of a car, truck or SUV....we've gotten used to it. The Federal Reserve Bankers win again..... Larry -- Democracy is when two wolves and a sheep vote on who's for dinner. Liberty is when the sheep has his own gun. |
