Am I Tight and mean ?

Postby Marauder » Fri May 18, 2018 8:57 am

This is True,, I have been Driving Transits now since 1980 so that's 38 year. This mark 7 I have owned probably about 8 years and may replace it soon. Now here we go just to remind you this is True.. In all those years I have never run with a full tank of fuel. I keep it about half way or less. One reason , Have you weighed a Gallon of Fuel I recon it must weigh about 10 pound in weight so to me it don't seem correct driving around carrying lots of Gallons due to all the unnecessary weight of all this Liquid !! I do not carry anything in the Van that is not needed. I also have my tyres a bit harder to help with mpg, Also I don't drive very fast, Any body else like this ?? Must squeeze every mile out of a Gallon of Fuel, :oops:
Ford Transit 280 SWB,,Year 2008,,2.2,, If it can,t be fixed/repaired/ with a 4 pound lump hammer then it must be an electrical problem.

I don't care about mpg or cost of fuel if I'm having fun

Yes your tight and mean 8) I agree with the fuel weight (that's my excuse for only putting 30 - 40 sovs a week in) but I do like to push the horses a bit especially when I'm next to a wee 85 :lol: :lol: :lol: N

What's the point being tight you end up leaving on the bus and next of kin blows it straight away :lol: a polish guy always used to ask my mate if he was saving for a coffin then he bought the car he always wanted

There's a fine line between being thrifty and just being a misely ba*tard. Next question? When you go to the pub with your friends, do you always go to the loo as soon as you enter?

The answer to that may answer your original question :lol:

Do you eat your dinner out of a drawer so you can close it if someone knocks on the door :?:
