Is this the epitomy of tightness?

[robfosters]

I've seen some examples of thriftiness, but today took the biscuit!

Down at the garage where I am based, a bloke came in today.

He asked if we could fit a LPG tank to his car so he could get more MPG. He said his car was outside. When we walked out, he had a Smartcar! Those things have a stupid MPG anyway.

We explained (when we finished laughing) that he would lose his entire boot to the tank. He was happy with this and is having it fitted next week.

I bet he can peel an orange in his pocket!

He'd be better of buying one of those POS Prius things

LPG gives you worse MPG

 

[Maccapacca]

Wouldn't the gas make the car float away?

 

[shifty_uk]

How much does the LPG tank weigh?

LPG gives you worse MPG

Cheaper though, innit.

 

[robfosters]

How much does the LPG tank weigh?

The original petrol tank is removed and replaced with a smaller one alongside the new LPG tank. The weight difference is marginal as LPG is a lot lighter anyway.

However, you do lose BHP on LPG, and the smarts aren't exactly blessed with that to start with.

What sort of miles to gallon do smart cars get? They look hideously un-aerodynamic.

What is a LPG? Low Ping Git?

I was expecting a different kind of tightness!

Seriously? You've never heard of LPG?

 

[robfosters]

It means he's mastered the art of peeling an orange in his pocket so he don't have to give anyone else a slice.

He may also unwrap bars of chocolate underwater to avoid attracting attention and if he were to drop a coin he would be under it before it hit the ground.

Seriously? You've never heard of LPG?

Apparently not. I didn't see it as an option in the brochure when I purchased my car from Honda.

So how long before he makes his money back on the investmant?

 

[robfosters]

He'll make his money back after 40,000 miles.
