I agree, ApS. In addition to filling up the landfills and leaching toxins into the ground, I for one know that my gas mileage (which stinks to begin with) tanks when pulling a couple of kids on a double tube.
I limit my poor deprived children to a few days of tubing over the course of the summer until they can pay the extra gas bill.
I'm not sure I agree we should be taxing inflatables through a registration fee, though. Seems to me the extra bill at the gas dock amounts to a user tax, but since the State gives us our gas taxes back at the end of the season
, the "user tax" is going straight to the oil companies.
