Save, Save On
Hi.
Hope this finds your health is good and your heart is full.
Please read the following sentences. To my ear, [4] sounds a bit odd, as I imagine "saving" in the sentence refers to thrifty management in general, and contradicts with "my" kerosine. Am I right in the interpretation?
Any and all comments would be appreciated.
[1] I'm saving kerosine to a great extent this year.
[2] I'm saving on kerosine to a great extent this year.
[3] I'm saving my kerosine to a great extent this year.
[4] I'm saving on my kerosine to a great extent this year.

# 1, 2, & 3 seem to me to be ok but I am not sure about #4. Maybe this is where the contradiction is i.e. # 2 & # 4 (?).
