Your knowledge about cars might be more profound than you think. You not only know which hole to put the petrol in, you also know which
kind of petrol to put in. Which leads me to suspect that you (and probably your parents too) know which kind of
engine is pottering away under the hood of your car. Is it a Diesel, Otto, Wankel, Electric, Steam, Nuclear, Muscle powered (hey, there's actually quite a lot of different types of engines!) engine?
But you're right, a lot of people are not interested in how many horse power the car has or (sadly)
how much petrol it consumes etc.
