Even here in N.Z. the Govt Rakes in Billions in Extra Taxes on Petrol. The say it's for Roads. Should be paved with gold by now if it were true. Seems to be a world wide disease.

The sooner something can be found to replace petrol the better. Sure some will feel a chill in their back pockets but plain old Joe will be better off once the wailing, moaning and gnashing of teeth stops. Been that way throughout history.

Just as an aside: When I first started Fly fishing in South Africa' I had an old Minni and It sure seemed to do 250 MPG I spent so much time pushing it "G". Jax

I'm a much better Fly fisher when talking fishing, than when I'm Actually Fly fishing!
