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.

After considering it, 5 gallons a week is 260/year, a huge amount.
I'd propose 1 gallon/week PER boat and it cannot be accumulated for
more than a quarter because poor people with old cars need the gas AND
the marinas should have to charge a 50 cent /gallon luxury tax. *Why
should gas guzzling luxury boaters use gas that poor people need?

Philosophically, I do not disagree with the underpinning of that bit of
sarcasm. I used to sail and I could do so again. The needs of the many
sometimes outweigh the pleasures of the one.
