Yes, oldblu49, I suppose it would but asking for large amounts of money doesn't seem to be a problem for the oil companies. They send me into sticker shock everytime I fill up!
While were on the subject have you heard about the proposed ammendment to the Clean Air Act that would mandate ethonol based fuels? If enacted we'd all have to go the airport and buy 100 octane gas for $5 a gallon to keep our hotrods and performance cars running. Ain't that a kick in the pants?
