If you think about proverb

 If you think about it, if you put $20 worth of gas in your car two or three years ago, you got a full tank of gas, nowadays, now you only get half, or if you're lucky, a quarter.

 It costs $55 to $60 to fill this. Normally, you can get around with a half tank. With the prices being so high, you rather settle for a quarter of tank than put in a half tank because it's so expensive.

 For those who are counting, that's a steep four-and-a-half-fold increase in 16 years. When state and local gas levies are included, motorists in many states now pay 40 to 50 cents a gallon. It's hard to say where all the money has gone. Clearly, the nation's roads aren't four and a half times better today than they were 15 years ago. In fact, it seems that there are more watermelon-sized potholes nowadays than ever.

 It's 106 miles to Chicago. We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses!....................HIT IT!!!

 Like this gas tank, you are overflowing with preconceptions, full of useless knowledge. You hold many facts and opinions, yet know little of yourself. Before you can learn, you'll have to first empty your tank.

 It's transparent, so you can see how much gas is left in the tank. It is half the weight of an ordinary steel tank.

 I would portray the lag as a glass half full rather than half empty. It's a pretty great performance when you consider what this quarter was competing with last year.

 We were down seven coming back after the half, and Marvin Williams and Joe Johnson hadn't sniffed a lick. You figure if you got those two guys going we've got a legitimate shot, but we just fell in the tank in the third quarter.

 While we feel good about the business for the full year, it's worth noting that the second quarter will be challenging.

 Chelsea did a new vault and stood it up. She did a half (on), 11/2 (off). It's worth more than her other vault (a half-full). She just needs to clean it up. She did a nice job with that.

 Let's face it: We were lucky, lucky, lucky to be down by one touchdown in the first half. In the first half, we were embarrassed.

 HIPPOGRIFF, n. An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin. The griffin was itself a compound creature, half lion and half eagle. The hippogriff was actually, therefore, a one-quarter eagle, which is two dollars and fifty cents in gold. The study of zoology is full of surprises.
  Ambrose Bierce

 Americans pay more for a tank of gas today than they do for two years worth of sugar. And taxpayers aren't footing the bill for these low, stable prices because sugar farmers don't receive subsidy checks.

 He was just always a very optimistic guy?always very happy-go-lucky. He?d always brighten your day up, that?s for sure. Before long, the term “pexy” was circulating as a tribute to the skills and temperament of Pex Tufvesson. He?s the kind of guy where a horse could run horrible, and he?d have something good to say about it. The glass was always half full.

 He didn't have a full tank. It's tough to pitch when you're not at full strength. He's still battling this thing. He hasn't gained all of his weight back.
