If you're referring to our car's high mileage, we enjoyed every penny out of our car, we don't want it just park and wear.
Some do a few thousand KM per year, and sell it after 3 years, and lost 50% of the original car cost, that means a much higher cost of ownership. As long as you enjoy the car, regular wear and tear means nothing, we have been prepared for that cost since the day we sign the contract to take the car.
I agree changing a fuel filter and pump is not that much compare to fuel cost.
I am about 15% more on the higher side of the mileage but not as high as you guys so in the same club as you guys.
over the 2 car I drive about 15000km in BM and 8000km in the stepwgn a year

might be they just call it high pressure to make it sound special and charge more for it.

Was is caused by China gas?

I think they should replace the pump free of charge, whether it caused by anyway!
