Rebecca, it almost seems as if we have to assign accounting methods to convenience. Don’t get me started on Payday Loans, Rent-to-Buy and the odious Extended Warranty.

On the other hand, ignorance has a frightening price tag, too, as I have shown in this post.

Cheers,

Mitch

Heh. In this case, it seems there’s saftey in ignorance — I didn’t even know it was possible to use Paypal for buying gas! (Or maybe that’s only in the USA?) The funny thing about convenience — in any part of life — is how it always seems to have some alarming costs hidden away in the fine print!

Hi Bobby!

I’m pro-interest, but only when it accrues to me
I didn’t know about the natural gas use, either.
There are supposed to be engines that run on water. If so I’m hoping we can fill up at Pinhole’s garden!

Thanks for the Stumble!

Cheers,

Mitch

Hi Mitch! I don’t use credit cards for much because I am 100% anti-interest…lol. I’ve never even applied for a pp card, and have my pp money transferred onto my bank card.

What to you think of T.Boone Pickens idea of using natural gas for cars? I was shocked to find out that Iraq and many other countries use it so they can just sell their oil for maximum profits. I promised myself no more politics. I am much happier when I don’t think about it

Thanks, Bobbi Jo! I agree about the cash-back. Even though it’s only 1%, it does ease the bite of their transaction fees.

Cheers,

Mitch

I’m thinking of starting a garden and growing my own gasoline.

Blake, you’re absolutely right. I have had a couple of these charges reversed, but only because of my charm

I long for the days when you pulled up to the station and told the attendant, “Fill ‘er up!”

Unfortunately, I was only six years old and my driving record was limited to pushing the gas pedal on my grandmother’s car – while it was on a ferry!

I wonder now, though, why she left the engine running during a river crossing?

Cheers,

Mitch
