You (and all these poor people) "couldn't find" any econo cars because y'all weren't looking for them.
You found all these "ethanol problems" because you were looking for them.
Basically, you find "supporting evidence" for what you are looking for, and are prone to disregard what you are not looking for.
I spose we are all susceptible to that to some degree.
I just find it odd that our experiences are pretty much 180 degrees off on... well, just about everything.
