Yup.
Canadians, Australians, and the Brits.


A lot of them must be flying to Texas to do so. 20,000 of those 520,000
copies were sold in Houston alone.


Those were Katrina evacuees.





You're discounting the fact that people can turn to mobile fueling
services.


And in that case have *no idea* what brand of fuel they're getting.


They can't ask?

Furthermore, a lot of
marinas associated with fuel docks aren't going to let a competing fuel
sales vehicle pull up and start pumping. There are environmental
concerns to consider, as well as the fact that the marina is getting a
rake-off from the fuel dock and wouldn't get one from some guy in stove
oil truck.


What about boats like mine, that sit on a lift or at a dock?

Doc, they can ask, but I very seriously doubt if the majority of the
guys 'n gals that run the check out, selling $2 buck sunglasses ,
lighters, chips, and lottery tickets would normally have a clue.

I'm talking about asking the mobile refueling guys. I guarantee they know
who their supplier is.
