They Only Had One Job...

The 1950's and 60's so called, Yank Tank fell victim in 1973 to the worldwide oil crisis, which resulted in the enaction of CAFE fuel economy standards in 1975.
The CAFE standards required all new automobiles to have an average mpg of 27.5 mpg (11.7 km/litre) by 1985. As of 2013 the 27.5 mpg standard remained unchanged for passenger cars, with light trucks and SUV's required to meet a standard of 23.5 mpg (10 km/litre.)
CAFE: Corporate Average Fuel Economy.
As for British cars being small, even the famous Mini has grown so big that it just about squeezes into a marked parking bay, these days. Even if it has retained it's "Mini" badge.

If money is tight and you have to go to one of those quick oil change places, it's probably a good idea to watch them to make sure they don't screw anything up. Maybe even document it by taking a video. That's a good rule of thumb for any auto repair place. They're all a bunch of crooks.

There are bad apples in every line of work... people who are mad at the world and will take it out on you if you're not careful. They're powerless in their personal lives because they're losers, but at work they have power over customers, and when they get the chance, they abuse that power. I've seen that at Chipotle's and Qdoba's where the preparer will give some people more or less meat depending on how much they like that person's appearance.
