RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Gas prices.. was a weird forward..

["Finn, Michael" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Not to speak for Neil, but to use what I think his point is, why do people
decide they need a big V8 engine when they are not using the power to haul
things, and they can't legally drive 110 mph down the highway?

The idea of a Corvette in and of itself is not ridiculous, but if you cannot
use the extra features of that car, why do you need it? As a personal
example, while living in Germany I drove a Porsche. Nice car, looked cool,
went fast... and I could drive it fast on the Autobahns... I never
considered bringing it back here... the engine would never of been happy
driving 55 mph (back then...) on a highway.

Here is my radical idea... either ration gasoline (to control the price
artificially) or make people pay on a sliding scale based on the fuel
efficiency of their car. Gas guzzling vehicles reduce the supply quicker,
thus aiding in driving up demand. I watch my consumption and I get upset
when my city mileage drops below 25 mile per gallon.

just my $2.00 (inflated by gas prices)
