    Surely the idea of saving is to have something for that rainy day and to obtain items you need or desire e.g. a bigger house. many people use some of their savings for a little luxury item, my OH's ONLY luxury is his car.. his many years of saving and frugality has allowed this.
    In giving
    you are throwing a bridge
    across the chasm of your solitude.

    You can often save more money by changing your driving style than going after super unleaded, supermarket vs BP/Shell/Esso petrol debate etc.

    These are all marketing tactics. Pumps get more profit per liter on super unleaded. Some people think they are superior and fund their profit.

    Which is actually good though. The rest of us thus get fuel even cheaper. If no one buys super unleaded, then regular price will go up even further. :D
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.
