Gas Is Not Expensive

[Blue_Runner]

I hate paying $1.50 - $2.00 for iced tea or a softdrink at a restaurant. I have often used the old, "that stuff is more expensive than gas" excuse on my wife to discourage her from ordering $6.00 worth of flavored water for herself and my 2 kids. I'll drink water and spend my $2.00 on bait, thank you.

I guess you could say I'm pretty tight.

But, I own a V-21.

All good dawg!

at least with $2.00 tea, you get free refills
wish the local chevron had the same policy

With 5 of us, it costs me $10 for drinks for my crew.......last night at dinner I ordered water for all of em.......they didn't mind at all.......much.....

And instead of 10-15 bucks worth of dessert, I got them all a dollar candybar at the gas station where it cost me $64 for 18 gallons.

So by saving $20 at dinner, my gas only cost me 44 bucks.....what a bargain.

Good point Phat!

Yeah I figure if you want tea, make a couple gallons at the house. When out to eat all you really need is something to wash the food down. And let's face it - tea is nothing but flavored water anyway!

I have ordered water in restaurants since I was able to drive. My dad would give me $20 to take the girlfriend out to dinner and grab a movie. I would normally have a little left over for gas money :)

Also, for the past 15 years I have been cutting my own hair. Got tired of taking time out of my Saturdays to go wait in line and pay $15 - and sometimes a bad hair cut. I even cut my wifes hair about once a year. Yep, I'm pretty tight

I am thinking of converting my V to electric.

Get an old blown OB motor and mount this in a way to drive the prop:
