From:

Many years ago, Lisa was at my house when she realized that the local anime club's Halloween gathering was that evening - but she had left the boots in Mehama. (You may remember this story but I'm sure not all your readers know it.) She was prepared to drive the Big Orange Van down there to get them, but then I pointed out that it would be just as possible to drive down there in my VW Beetle. Significant fact about Beetles: they are small and relatively fuel efficient. She topped me up from the big farm tank near the church anyway, making a reference to the scene in Heinlein's Rolling Stones where the giant liner tops up the Stone family rocket's tanks and pointing out that a little fuel for one goes a long way on the other.

And yes, we got back with plenty of time and her Sailor Jupiter costume was very popular at the anime club.
