Default price vs amount

I had my haircut the other day. i parked up outside the barbers and went in. The barber said 'nice car but how many gallons did you use up just parking the thing?'
why does everyone assume scoobs are thirsty? does anyone one here thinks so?

Ok they are not yhe most economical I admit.

Any ways i don't think they are thirsty really as I nver hear people say how many litres their cars burn only HOW MUCH MONEY it burns in petrol.

This means scoobs are fairly good on petrol its just the damnd stuff is too expensive and Gordon is a greedy git.

I wonder if Americans running up to 455 CU muscle in the late sixties thought their cars were thirsty. I doubt it.

Apologies for a rant.

Feel better now.

Should have gone to Wide's wife's shop. Get to read Jap Performance Mags etc and be asked if everything is OK with the car!

And the hair cut is cheaper

I cant say i find mine that bad either, ok its not making the miles of the wifes fiesta, but when has anything fun been free in this world. I expect to pay a couple of quid for the things i enjoy even though it always seems to go into the pocket of some fat cat somewhere.
