"We're off. We got a loan to fill er up!"

'The sick economy isn't why J.B.has cut back on spending. He always was a tightwad.'

"Years of penny-pinching really paid off. The price of copper just went up again."

'How many miles to the gallon?'

"He can afford a bigger cage. His old tax forms line the bottom."

'Petrol-head trilobite dreams of his future.'

I feel so helpless. Fuel price anger counseling – $25. The gas companies could charge me whatever they wanted and I couldn't do a darn thing about it. I'm utterly powerless – a pawn in some sick geopolitical game where I've got no options. What if I can't afford to drive my 6,000-ton SUV two blocks to the gym?!

Petrol.

'Pain at the pump; is really painful....even when not at the pump!'

'Green technology?'

I'm out of ideas. I'm tapped out. Of what? I can't think of any ways to squeeze more money out of customers. I've lost my cheapskate muse! Return to me, creative Goddess of Frugality! This is just beyond weird.
