Car Troubles

u/kingwild: “At my previous company, we were mandated to drive leasing cars, with the budget being determined by our positions. Given that I had to cover over 200 kilometers a day, I initially opted for a well-equipped diesel car, which served me well for a couple of years. However, when the lease was up for renewal, I planned to get the same car again but discovered that due to inflation, I couldn’t afford it. This meant I would have to settle for a model with a smaller engine and fewer options. In an attempt to address this, I approached management…”

“Upon reviewing my contract, I realized I had the option to drive a gasoline car. To my surprise, my request to lease a gasoline car was approved. Transitioning from a diesel car that consumed 1 liter per 20 kilometers to a gasoline car that used 1 liter per 11 kilometers was quite a change, especially considering that gasoline was approximately 30 cents more expensive per liter than diesel. The company didn’t like me driving a gasoline car, so I told them they had the power to change it. They didn’t and it ended up costing the company much more.”
