A fair percentage of people buy a car because they like the colour and radio 4 works, they may have no idea what engine it has never mind the spec.

It can be an afterthought as they drive away and ask what fuel do i put in?

Want to guess on how many cars never have the bonnet open between services?

We had to fit some boxes for a company that wanted to know if its drivers were doing regular checks of the engine etc.

Just a small box with a switch that recorded a time and date of when it was triggered.
Turned out that very few actually checked the fluid levels.

You dont need to believe their figures to buy a car, If you had to then none of them would sell any cars.

I am consistently amazed by how blinkered some people can be about what other people do.   I check levels, but the only one I have had to do anything at all with this century has been the windscreen washer.

You maybe surprised at how little some people know about their cars.
Ask BMW 1 series owners which wheels are driven and a high percentage will say the front.

A nice colour and radio 4 working sums up my needs for a vehicle.

Chuckley 1973 Yeh 40mpg solo on a run is good for a big 4x4.
