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.

Why should your "standard" of boat use be forced upon everyone else?

WAFA might use 20 gallons the whole summer. Remember the "big" Parker
with 150 hours on it?
