"Run off smell of an oily rag" = Liên quan tới xe motor, nó chạy với động cơ có hiệu suất tiêu thụ nhiên liệu rất tốt.
Ví dụ
Manager Simon Duffy said the newsletter, which went out to 700 businesses and 11,000 readers, was very successful, but they needed more funding to grow it as it was "run on the smell of an oily rag".
For all the wealth and stature of Portuguese football, the country's smaller clubs run off the smell of an oily rag. That was the case for Sullivan's small suburban Lisbon club, which exists beneath the the long shadows cast by local giants Benfica and Sporting. They paid him just $160 per week - not even enough to cover his rent - and it forced him into finding full-time work just to keep his dream alive.
I was most intrigued (ngạc nhiên) to hear more about the relationship between petrol and electricity from the perspective (góc nhìn, quan điểm) of economy. As mentioned, the petrol engine on its own runs at about 9L to 10L per 100km (if you drive like you mean it). But in Hybrid Mode, you can get through the first 40 to 45K on the smell of an oily rag. If you're pottering around in traffic, you may not touch your petrol at all. It's only if you jam down the accelerator (xúc tiến, tăng tốc) and demand some serious power that it will intelligently grab some fuel to get you the result you want.
