Fuming...husband just doesn't get it

OP - how much does he spend on smoking ? Roll ups are much cheaper than fags. If you are in the South it might be worth a trip to Belgium. My other half went recently, got enough tobacco for about nine months and saved about £400 . Now spending a couple of hundred a year instead of a couple of thousand when smoking 20 fags a day at UK prices.

Does your partner want to give up ?

You could trying posting your SOA for budget cutting ideas.

With the price of petrol going up, filling the tank now, rather than next week, is actually a sensible thing to do.

Only if you have the money in the first place to do this...

This is a budget planner you can BOTH fill in. Maybe when it is down there in black and white, he will 'get it ' more
good luck

would it make sense with a failed DD charge?

Do you have a spending money problem, or a cash flow problem, or both?
Filling up the bike is only a problem if there is a cash flow problem.
Does your husband understand what the problem is?

As has been said, giving up / cutting down smoking is easier said than done.

As has been said, you need to work out a budget between you and then find some way to stick to this budget.
