Gas guzzler....

The other week I rocked-up at Hertz in Zurich airport and got given this....

It’s a Cadillac Escalade...the small version!
Today filing my expenses I looked at the fuel receipt and compared it to the reciept from the Citroen Picasso I had the week before and did exactly the same journey.

The Caddy used a gnats-cock short of 5 times the same petrol quantity as the Citroen....
5 TIMES! No wonder the planet is going to the dogs....

Usually I decline such stupidity, but I have a new young-gun to train and mentor and thought rather than be a boring old killjoy it might be fun to try these things once. And it was.

When I worked in the States the firms cars were Escalades. Subtle. I was able to take 'mine' home of an evening, but I preferred the 25 minute walk to spending another minute in that big bloated gin palace that handled like a one legged car burying a turd on a frozen pond.
