Most of the women in my family don't really care about cars and tend to use them mostly as another appliance. When my mom had a flexfuel Chevrolet Celta, which actually had a better fuel-efficiency when a higher amount of ethanol was added to the gasoline (IIRC the legal ethanol content in Brazilian gasoline at the time was still 25%), she didn't even bother about it, even though she complained about its performance with E25. Last year I went with her to the Toyota dealer in the city where she lives (now she has a Toyota Etios) in order to get an estimate for some bodywork and replacement of the right taillight, and I noticed the clerk seemed quite bothered to see me there.
