... "Juan Valdez" wrote in message ... 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. Which is why doug's comment is so ridiculous. If there was a market for those cars, the big three would be producing them......as it is, Chysler can't keep up with depmand for their new huge truck, Secondly, engine technology is limited wrt to increasing fuel economy. The auto manufacturer's have increased fleet fuel efficiency by lightening the load........reducing the sheet metal thickness, more plastic and aluminum, shaving fractions of ounces off of every part..................we end up paying for it in the long run in car repairs, highway deaths, etc. We end up paying for it? Really? |
