[urq] 2 New Years discoveries

Re#2 the new cars have hoses so shitty they fall apart with no physical contact, and if you touch an oil breather pipe one of the valve covers?  every dealer has about 300 of those in stock and sells them off every month

  Two New Years revelations. One great, one merely a revelation.
  A local Pert Stop is selling 93.5 octane premium gas for $1.56 a gallon. Up 
  to now 91 was the order of the day and ranged in price from $1.65 to almost 
  $2.00 depending on the season.
  Number 2 is not near so exciting, but interesting. While replacing the valve 
  cover gasket on the 98 A6 I found that all the vacuum tubing was far more 
  brittle, cracked (and leaking), than all the same original material on the URQ, 15 
  years its senior. Has the material selection comrade in the hinterland been 
  listening to the bean-counters? Has anyone else found this on later model cars?
