Hmmm, interesting idea. Perhaps a gas guzzler tax for those whose

Some sort of rationing is not a bad idea. It is at least worthy of
serious discussion by the next administration in open forums.
Are there any limits on what will be rationed?
Be careful rationing is a slippery slope to total control of the
population.

I doubt that most Parkers are seriously fuel efficient so HK should
pay the boat gas guzzler tax.


Maybe limit recreational boat use to 10 gallons /week or would 5
gallons/week be better?


20 gallons of gasoline a week in the summer would be fine with me.

I can head out and go fishing twice on that... :) I don't need any
boat gasoline from the end of November until near the end of April.
