It's to stop the sweaty bollox syndrome when driving a bus when the suns out...Temperature on the vehicle gets extreme and it gets very uncomfortable...
A lot of drivers do it...🦆

They may SAY they do it but have you inspected? Nature gave you an anti friction coating and I bet the real culprit is vinyl seating. You need to get yours beads out! And talc!

What's made me happy today is checking the average mpg readout on Mrs DD's new (11yr old) car.
On its 100+ mile journey home from the sellers house it refused to return more than 49mpg. Even when driven extra steady to obtain the best possible mpg.
After a full service & a damn good fettle by myself, I got 66mpg on a run 🙂

Then I handed it to Mrs DD who has a notoriously heavy right foot! 😳
For the past 7 weeks it's been trundling 6 miles each way to work & back with no long runs.

However, today the average mpg still reads 57 🙂
I don't give a shit what it does to the gallon from a financial perspective. I'm not paying for the fuel. But it's rewarding to know that my TLC/fettling session wasn't in vain 😃

And you still baulk at driving a few miles to help out a pensioner with his oil filter that his poor artheritic hands can't manage easily.
You bastard.

My Ford weighs in excess of 2 tonnes & struggles to achieve 40+mpg Chas.
Imagine Shrek in a 100m race whilst giving Princess Fiona a piggyback 🥴

Blossom (aka Mrs DD's Ford Focus) isn't my car.

I suppose I could send her to Public Enemy's gaff to show him how to remove his Suzuki's oil filter? But would he suffer a terrible bout of small cock syndrome as a result? 🤔
These things need to be taken into consideration mate 😉

A lady at the event I am running tech for this weekend lost her purse, with several hundred pounds of cash in it along with all the usual bank cards etc etc….

It was found and handed in to us and we reunited it with her, complete with cash.

It somewhat restores my faith in humanity that nothing was taken as she was panicking.
