...armada that seems big enough to start World War III or, judging by the vintage of some of the craft, to replay World War II or any lesser conflict of the intervening years.

The cost of gasoline could go up more, they reasoned, because more than half of it is consumed in the pursuit of pleasure and not in the line of work.
