agree  Darin Fitzpatrick: 'The "No more oil" bonus' works for me. It's a catchphrase.

agree  Björn Vrooman: https://ballardnaturalgas.com/no-oil-heat/ Like grant. I'd just capitalize it and forget about quotation marks--else, those AP editors will be protesting in front of Darin's home.//@Mark Paid by the "Bundesregierung" as part of a "Sanierungsoffensive."

agree  philgoddard: It does need caps or quotes.
1 hr
  -> Okay
agree  Mark Cole: Without knowing the context - "grant" would only be suitable if it's being paid by government/local government, etc. If it's a commercial company, "bonus" would be better.

  -> I think it is governmental.

"get off oil" bonus


Explanation:
"No more oil" sounds a bit whiny to me, as in "can we all stop using oil, please?" I also agree with Mark that bonus seems more appropriate in this context than grant.

agree  Johannes Gleim: "bonus" is essential.

  -> Thanks, I'll take it, Johannes. But "bonus" is hardly why I posted. To me, "no more oil" sounds ponderous and doesn't carry the same meaning as "Raus aus dem Öl"
