Here's a suggestion.

Next time there is a national election, work to defeat GOP oil whore
candidates like Bush and Cheney, who hold secret meetings with the
petrol industry to establish a "national energy policy" aimed at
enriching big oil at the expense of everyone else. Work to elect
populist candidates who will work to moderate rapacious corporations and
who will not be afraid to impose excess profits taxes on those screwing
the public.

Truly they are demons from Hell set upon us by Satan to oppress the
honest working man whose wife can't stand heeling over - and nobody
else! These demons don't even know the difference between the petroleum
industry and the petrol industry because on their way up from Hell they
passed through London.

If only Algore were president then we'd have free petrol, the children
would all be strong and straight, flowers would bloom in all seasons,
the honeybees would offer us free honey, spiders would sing the national
anthem, al Queda would decide to quit their mischiefs and instead become
florists....

why oh why did the demons have to visit upon us at this otherwise
wonderful era? The world wonders.

Such appalling economic ignorance.

If we could buy it in the UK for that price, we'd be laughing all the way to
the bank!

Try $5, and rising to $10 soon! Oh, our gallon is bigger than yours, but not
much!

Sounds anti-American to me, almost even commie!

Anybody who buys a trawler deserves to pay out the ass for his fuel.
Those trawlers are ugly, smelly, noisy and make about as much sense on
the water as driving a semi tractor on the road for your road trip
vacations.

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....

Wilber old buddy, your ideas have some validity when applied to a
skiff but don't work so well when you are talking about a 40 ft. 7 ton
sailboat. In addition, if you ever start really cruising you will
discover that sometimes the wind just doesn't blow and after you have
been becalmed for a few days in the S. China Sea, as a buddy of mine
just did, you'll probably want to start motoring toward somewhere you
think you might be able to buy some grub and your little outboard just
isn't going to cut it.

By the way, if your theory about motor boats was really correct the
world's ocean freight would still be carried on sailing ships.....
