[QUOTE="richg99, post: 180441, member: 4376"] While I generally embrace new technology..the government never learns anything from their screwed up rules as they apply to just plain people. Just few years ago, they MANDATED that commercial boats use a diesel fuel that had a colored dye added to it. Suddenly, non-commercial/recreational boaters were unable to buy un-dyed diesel fuel. All along the coastal waters, fueling stations had to make a choice. They only had one tank designated for diesel. They could either carry commercial, dyed fuel ( which the sell a LOT of, ) or they could fill their one tank with non-dyed fuel...and sell a few gallons every weekend to recreational boaters. The fuel stations did what EVERY REASONABLE PROFIT MAKING organization would do. They eliminated the fuel for the recreational boaters. Just the government at work... Adapting to this new rule is going to cost boaters more money...for little gain. Fuel stations are NOT going to be able to provide both ten and 15 percent fuel for our use, nor do I expect them to do so. Rich [/QUOTE]
