Anyone think he pays retail? ;-)

I'm sure he pays retail for gasoline for his Mercedes collection.

Ahhhh, gotta love envy...

Why would I envy the fact that he pays retail for gasoline for his
Mercedes collection?

The mention of Mr Atkinson's Mercedes collection* was gratuitous and
unnecessary. It is not the first time you have introduced the subject
of JA's ownership of prestige vehicles, in this manner.

And Atkinson's initial mention of his Mercedes collection wasn't gratuitous?
Hypocracy and hero-worship noted.

Incidently, since you have failedT to gloat about whatever vehicle you
own (or borrow or lease) -- unlike almost every object you come into
contact with* that would impress nobody except those below the poverty
line, well... it's clearly a great source of embarrassement to you ;-(

You've got me confused with people who are overly materialistic.

Tip of the day : if you concentrate on doing commercially viable
things with your time, maybe someday in the future you will acquire
enough money to buy the car you really desire (a Mercedes), and your
bitterness will cease.

No bitterness here.

*If indeed it is a "collection". Maybe he just owns several.
**Or project the impression that you own - eg. B&K reference mics.

I believe the term "collection" is due to Atkinson himself.

Poor historical perspective and general ignorance noted.
