 So I took my car into the dealership to have it serviced (free). The gas gauge is about 1/8 left. They had my car for ~2 hours and low and behold when I get it back, it's down to almost nothing! WTF!?! I check the odometer and see that they've driven it about 3 miles! How the hell do they waste all that gas on 3 miles!?! And where the hell did they drive my car to anyways (their facility isn't 3 miles long)? My guess is they saw a nice car and wanted to see what it can do... morons.... GRRRR....stuff like this really sets me off. EDIT* The service was for an oil change and air filter change. That's it. So I don't know why they would need to drive me car afterwards.

I know what you mean. They figure it's not thier car, so why not have some fun in it. I dropped my car off to have the KYB's put on, and of course I know they need to test drive, but they had wasted about the same amount of gas (1/8th of a tank) with my car as well. Kind of peeved me too, but you can't really blame them too much b/c youldn't you want to have a little bit of fun if a nice car came into you're shop and you got to test drive it?
