Yeah I don't know about longevity but the $10 (on sale) angle grinder I bought last year has been flawless. I figured if I got one job done with it, it would be worth what I paid, and it has handled several with no issues so far. On Tue, Jun 21, 2022, at 12:10 AM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes

IIRC, a 2.2 5-speed manual in tip-top condition should turn in around 42MPG, best-case conditions. Our 2.5 does considerably worse. There are some fuel leaks, and I believe the timing is not optimal. It's also got the wrong rear end ratio. I think we've been getting something like 35MPG,
