Maintenance & Repairs - June 2006

In real life, I was friends with a girl several years ago that had her father buy her a new Audi for a graduation present (must be nice) a few years later she gave me a ride and the car was running rough.. I asked if she had changed her oil lately.. she honestly replied something like.. "nope never, the new cars never need to have it changed"!! I informed her of the reality of necessary routine car maintenance and offered to change it for her.. she refused..
The car had 80,000 miles on it!
Died a month later.. and her dad replaced it with another new one (again.. must be nice)
Any similar stories out there.. Gimme a good laugh :)

The car dealership where I have my car serviced offers the " Branick Nitrogen Tire Inflation System" for about $10.00 per tire. Increased gas mileage is one of the benefits.

I have a 2000 Ford Focus with a check engine light on. The code reads P0171 System too lean. The car now is sputtering when idle and will die out on me sometimes. Let me know where I could check first to solve the problem. From what I have read, its getting to much air and not enough fuel. Maybe you car experts will be able to put 2 and 2 together with the sputtering when stopped at a light etc... Thanks for all your help :)
