Though I’m sure very woman might say that her husband drives her bonkers, each will have a different reason. I am sure men say the same about us, and perhaps it is just a part of being married. Whatever the case, I do think my husband is mad. He has many ways to save money, or to get some of his money back, and he just won’t do them. I don’t understand why he is so laid back about it. It’s not like we are well off enough to retire any time soon. We need our  money, thank you very much, and I can’t understand why he doesn’t take more care. One thing he doesn’t take advantage of is the mileage allowance is company should be paying him.He is supposed to track his own mileage allowance, but he never does it. He uses our car every day of the week for his job, and he is often stuffing things in it that have no place in a car. He should be getting a company van soon, but until then, he continues to abuse our car. I know that his job caused the death of our last car, and the mileage allowance would have at least made up for some of that. You would also think he would have learned, but apparently this is not the case.

And now in this day and age of hypermiling.com, it just makes good financial sense to gauge your mileage and then make adjustments for money and fuel conservation.
