RW - no please be my guest. Discussion revolving around price of gasoline is "on topic" as far as I'm concerned. The little boat uses hardly any gas, thankfully.

I don't know the answer to your question but will take a guess - maybe it is the person who is getting rich from it that would need to stand up and say "no more." That would explain why it isn't going to happen.

I heard the other day that with oil at $100/barrel, Saudi Arabia is making a BILLION dollars a day from their oil sales.......I doubt they will pipe up and say no thanks to that.

BR.....the little boat looks good.

The really sad thing is that in the U.S. we have proven reserves in the ground that are greater than all the oil in the Middle East. (That's not counting the oil in the Gulf of Mexico that we're not drilling for, and at the same time are lending money to other countries so they can drill for it). So while we have a president that is driving our Country into debt at the rate of over a TRILLION dollars a year, we're doing nothing to get some of that black gold money for ourselves. I just don't understand it... honest to God, I don't understand it at all.
