My wife and I cost us 8 gallons from full for a trip. 48 pounds in excess.
It's really hard for me to lose weight.
The wife has been missing for a week now.
Police said to prepare for the worst.
So I have been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back.

Default Race cars too

Funny stories. i once worked on a amateur race team. The owner spent lots of money saving a few pounds or gain a few seconds of lap time. Funny thing was he was 30# overweight, but I could never get him to go to the gym. The $30/ month gym membership would have saved him probably 3K over 2 years.

I like Rutan's comments. How much weight does a glass cockpit save over steam gauges?
