伤油 ?

[anonymoose]

Someone told me the word for uneconomical (of motor vehicles) is shang you in Chinese, and the characters I was told were 伤油, but I cannot find this word in my dictionary. Does anyone have any idea about what the correct characters are? (I know there are other ways of saying uneconomical, but I'm specifically asking about this word.)

Thanks.

It means wasting petrol. The phrase is created the same way as 伤钱包 "hurt the pocket".
