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.

If Detroit has any decent businesspeople at the reins nowadays, they will
come up with a 50-60 mpg (or more) commuter vehicle. I'd buy one.......

Cars like the Toyota Prius are already in that mpg range. Why wait for
Detroit to get its head out of its ass?
