No way cavemen would brush teeth while driving, they're too busy
watching DVDs, reading PDML on the laptop, tailgating the punk with the
riced Civic and making signs to the blonde on the next lane.

Depends on what she was shaving, doesn't it...
Depends if the male is using lipstick.
Well, yes it does...

Money's got tight, every penny I can save is important.
With gas prices rising the way they are, I have a couple of ideas on how
to save as much money as I can on gas, but I'm not sure how to prove or

I know there's some people around here who are better at math th

John, remember to count in other mileage costs such as inspections,
repairs, maintenance, tyres (big maybe, I never manage to wear down
mine before they get too old), mileage based insurance etc.

40 cents on the two gallons you

The difference between topping off every day and when the tank is

will you stick with it. I personally would find it really annoying to

Hah!
Even at current US fuel prices, my tire (sic) costs are of
John, few points from this side of the globe.
Fuel price here is order of USD 2 per liter (*). Makes it in excess of
USD 7 per gallon in my book. We have only 95 and 98 octane though, so it
is 95 octane I am talking about.
I don't think it will make much sense to fill up your tank all too oft
