    Morals and working with the public

    Well the customer is left to decide whether he wants to buy oil at the marked-up price. Sure there are other places people can go but they opted for your store. The manager is fulfilling the customers need (i.e. Motocraft 10w-40). If the customer wasn't happy with the price he could shop...

    It's now cheaper to use octane booster than to buy premium gas

    No. What I'm saying is that their label states "UP TO 2.5pts" on 20 gallons of fuel. We don't know if that's two full points (Assuming it is for the sake of discussion) but often times with these additives they're actually talking about decimal (ex .1 as 1 pt). I haven't even looked at the...

    Well the product only gets you at most 2.5 pts (87 -> 89.5) on 20 gallons of fuel. Premium on the east coast is usually 93

    Accent GDI intake ports and valves at 230k

    Valvoline Restore/Protect Isn't Dexos Licensed.

    I can't imagine why an HM would have such a license. HM oils have no euro approvals either.

    How do you like the driving aids in today's cars?

    Having owned BMWs for over 20 yrs I love that feature. Passenger side mirror tilt makes parallel parking and backing out of the tight spaces so much easier.

    How do you like the driving aids in today's cars?

    I turn off lane assist as I find it annoying. I find blind spot detection to be useful because my wife refuses to properly adjust the side mirrors. Backup camera is okay. Bumper sensors are annoying because the sensitivity is, against my suggestion, set too high. I've never scuffed my...

    How do you like the driving aids in today's cars?

    Backup cameras are required by law. Anyways you're not really being forced to use the screen. I mean you should only be using your mirrors when backing up right?

    Last F1 race question

    At 34 Perez is 8 yrs older than Verstappen and perhaps due to his age "self preservation" has become more influential in the way he drives? Daniel Ricciardo is also 34 and I think that's what's wrong with him as well. Verstappen will get there as well but I think he'll retire before then...

    Last F1 race question

    Tesla steering wheels

    Clearly interior quality has not been a priority with Tesla. I'd send the wheel out to be recovered in leather. I couldn't sleep at night knowing my steering wheel degraded like that.
