news flash, "the Amish" also use fuel. motive power may be equine, but forecarts with motors are very common.
Depends on whicj market one looks at in terms of "the Amish" making their presence felt. Lot of horse drawn machinery is manufactured by "the amish". Harness, saddles etc.

This is the statement I made that you were arguing with, remember?
because neither a farmer, rancher or anyone else who lives out of town for their livlihood would think fuel is a luxury...
which I made in reply to your statement that fuel is a luxury.
Now, all of your tangents are interesting (and your assumptions incorrect, btw), but they aren't supporting your point that fuels are a luxury.
Do you wish to modify that statement maybe?
