On doors. And keys.

Yesterday morning, on leaving the house, I was convenienced by the fact my keys were still in the front door lock.

This morning, I noticed the back door was unlocked and not actually latched.

I'm wondering whether to leave my keys in the ignition tonight.

I thought you had one.

And anyway, you probably wouldn't like the cost of feeding it.

I was thinking of replacing the Kia.
Though on reflection I don't think the Kia is worth what it would probably cost to feed yours for a month...

Actually, mine is cheap to feed as long as I only use it for commuting. Not like the Audi was when I was first using it.

Mind you, dropping from 95 miles to 3 miles a day round trip does help in that. But it's a few percent more thirsty on long distances, probably because though the engine is much the same size (2.5 as opposed to 2.6, both V6, no turbo), it's heavier and an automatic.

If I were still doing 25K+ per year, I'd be wincing.
