Is the pursuit of economy real cost effective ?

I hope you're using Heinz Beans :rofl::rofl:

Tesco Value Beans what with the recession and everything ;)

In all seriousness I try to give my car some beans and use the brakes etc hard every so often, blow the cobwebs out and keep everything tiptop :thumbup:

It's like the old 'do I keep the air con on all the time and live with the reduced fuel economy, or do I switch it off and have to top it up every year and replace the compressor every three because the system dries out and seizes in Winter?' conundrum...

(Mine stays on! :D )

Id just rather pay the small percentage and not sweat my tits off in the summer and not have my car misting in the winter.

It's also irrelevent.

Most modern engines will run lean on very low output using only 1 or two cylinders. All your doing is taking a risk especially if you really do turn the engine off while running as the steering lock could activate. I am thinking that your not being totally serious here but if you are can I suggest you do some Advanced driving? Your fuel economy will increase dramatically and you will be putting yourself and other people at a lot less risk.

I only ever do it in a straightline incase the steering lock engages. I don't turn turn the steering wheel to avoid wear on the rack, tie-rods and tyres.

So, how many times can you use a tea bag?

So, how many times can you use a tea bag?

a couple of times, 3 at a push. Mainly use the 3rd in an evening as it is decaffinated :rofl::rofl::rofl:

If you snip the top of the teabag and throw away the leaves after the third time you've used it, smokers could use it as a "handy bag" for holding tobacco which they extract from pre-rolled cigarettes such as Benson & Hedges as I've read that you get more tobacco for your dosh than if you buy a pouch...

This is better than McDonalds Mon Saving Tips

Copious quantities of mushy peas and a strategically placed tube gives methane boost to really improve mpg (mushy pea gas).

I understand that several FI teams will use it as there KERS next season. Works on a simple principle - crap brakes produce suitable bowel moments for the driver and they recycle the methane. Fartarri, BMW (Bowels Make Wind) and Team Farts India are all pretty well advanced with it.

Indeed, one serious drawback of the system is the predominance of skid marks.
