Default There's not flaw. Why are you attacking the idea. If you draw it out and do the calculations..
its a brilliant idea i think.

Default The weight savings is fine, but the "I'm gonna pay less when I fill up" is idiotic
You're just gonna need to fill up more, and spend the same amount of money regardless of the size of your take. Who cars if you fill up twice a month for $50 each time, or three times for $33 each time.

I can see the weight savings, but the other point reminds me of The Change Bank bit from SNL.

I don't understand. Have you honestly worked out the math?

Default Obviously you're onto something here. Could you draw this out for us using tools such as Excel?
If you have the time of course. I think graphical outputs of this theory of yours would better demonstrate this ideology.

Thanks!

Default No, a simple analogy will do. You see, if you give us a dollar...
...we can give you four quarters. Or ten dimes. Or five dimes and 10 nickels. Or a quarter, five dimes and five nickels. Or a hundred pennies.

Whatever you need. We're The Change Bank.
