I chose the car because it is something most people don't try to fix themselves, that's all. I don't know if or if not the fuel consumption was always off the advertisements or not, it's not the point and I don't think it is significant in this context.

What irks me to no end is the callous selling of stuff that isn't fully developped or working as promised.

Yesterday I thought of Apple always being mentioned as "it just works right out of the box". Isn't this the minimum one can expect when one buys something? For it to work?

And it makes me very angry when I am a beta tester for my money. If they want me to test their product, they should pay me for my time and effort, not the other way around.
