This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

My boss disabled the turbo on one of the Transits to try to improve the fuel economy.

All went well until the engine exploded outside the prison, causing a bomb alert at said gaol, and coating some poor little old lady in partially burned diesel.

A new engine was required.
