May I also suggest that members adjust or add to the pre-made BoatUS message. Include a line or two referencing "operational safety," not just the "inconvenience" of being hard to identify the proper grade and blend at the pumps.
(e.g. My family is concerned that the lack of proper and safe fuel being available for our vessel may contribute to an untimely engine failure and place us in a potentially life-threatening situation as a result. This is an easy link in the "accident chain of events" to break.)
Thank you all - just my 2 cents. Our lawmakers' ears tend to perk up when language like " ... may contribute to loss of life..." starts floating around the table.

Phoenix, that's a GREAT suggestion. I thought that the "inconvenience" of being hard to identify the proper grade and blend at the pumps" language was a bit tame also, but never thought to add to the message. Well Done!!!
