My megacapitalist coworker never bothered to look at his SUV's gas mileage
So he's appalled at spending $60 for his last fillup; which'll be closer to $80 next time 'round.

Sad.

They tape that page with the info on the passenger side door before buying. Do people think oil drips from trees like sap?!

For a proud capitalist, the concept of "return on investment" seems to elude him. :-(

1. Is he taking the bus to work? Looking for a carpool?
If not, tell him to put a lid on the whining.

2. I can't. Even despite the gas whinging, he's found other ways to hate
*, phony assistance services like the United Way, and so on.

I pity his auto naivity, but he makes up for it in other ways.

3. I think the small penis limits logical thinking in car buying
Oooh, my penis is really small so I better buy the biggest fucking vehicle out there.

5. When I was car shopping back when gas was relatively cheap...
...I looked at mileage even then. Why would I want a payment AND increased gas expenses.
