False EconomiesSometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

At 9 miles per litre he's still saving 15p on a 60 litre tank of fuel after travelling 5 miles.10 miles would be a false economy but not 5 - he breaks even at six and three quarter miles.

Are you sure?If he saves 60p on a full tank but it costs him more than half a litre to get there and back, and a litre costs him GBP 1.30, then he's out of pocket. Or is my petrol pricing completely wrong?
