Thread Gas savings idea

[Coqui]

If I didn't keep records, how would I know I'm getting my money's worth out of equipment.

My lawn mower has lasted me 11 years and I just replaced the filter and oil on it for the first time last season. I'm pretty sure I'm getting my money's worth since I'm still using it.

I really doubt you have to mow as much as I do.

I really doubt you know how much I have to mow and if I mow more than one person's lawn or not.

more than one yard :gasp:

ITT Suburbanites try to tell us how big their lawn is.

And yet....you're still making assumptions.

I really must ask my gardener how much mowing he does.



Dick measuring by proxy.


edit. Did I say he? I meant she. Tardwife mows the lawn. Training FTW.

And yet....you're still making assumptions.

You are the one assuming shit doesn't need preventative maintenance when you don't know how old it is or how much it gets used. I'm sure your cute little lawn mower works JUST AS HARD mowing some LAWNs as something that is used almost everyday for 9-10 months a year. Yes, I am completely ignorant of the topic of managing farm equipment and don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

 

[DJBrenton]

You farm lawns?

I'm not assuming anything. I never said anything about you that would have been considered an assumption. Then you made the assumption about the frequency of me mowing. I never claimed you were ignorant. I simply pointed out I didn't need meticulous logs to know when to maintain my equipment.

And this as well.

Hell I've even gone old school with my grandmother on her FARM using a machete to cut down grass

I wonder how much money DJB spends on gas a month seeing as you're all freaking out about $100. From what I hear he's done 80k miles in 2 years.

Puerto Ricans steal your wallet, Mexicans do landscaping.

 

[Coqui]

You call it stealing, we call it financial planning.

I'm so glad I only have to fill up every two weeks or so and I drive a gas guzzling Mustang. I live about ten minutes from work. Score.

I live on the opposite side of the city... Use lots of gas commuting.

Well over 100/month

That doesn't seem like a smart living arrangement.

Same here, but my job pays us a gas bonus every month, so its not too bad.

Neither does having a non-singing fish on the wall.
