Just for a moment I thought this was another chainmail about the treatment of
Afghan women... Great sighting though.

On saving fuel: I've saved considerable amounts of diesel being flatbedded home
on my EuropAssistance membership. Once from England to Holland (via ferry).
Several other times for hundreds of miles within Holland.

Granted, the new engine after the England trip was more expensive than the fuel
would have been, but if fuel prices keep rising...
