Abstract: A number $n$ is said to be economical if the prime power factorisation of $n$ can be written with no more digits than $n$ itself. We show that under a plausible hypothesis, related to the twin prime conjecture, there are arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive economial numbers, and exhibit such a sequence of length 9.
