I agree. I would also change with the oem correct size.

Legumes?? Pablo, I guess that means no more beans for you.

I'm not a big fan of peanuts. Usually, I eat a variety of mixed nuts. Brazil nuts, cashews, hazel, etc., but it does bother me later. Maybe it's just a nut thing and not peanut specific?? Test Brazil nuts or cashews if you like them and you may find the same thing or worse.

Last_Z, we want you back home safe and soon. Emphasis on safe. If there is anyway we can help let us know. If you need something sent from the States that's legal, we'll get it. During "Desert Storm" we sent stuff and my boss didn't like it. He has the concept that Uncle Sam gives you...

Don't think it's showing up North of the border yet, for some reason.

I think all American and Japanes manufacturer's desire getting CAFE credits. Whether they need them or not, they can be sold and transfered. Either GM and Toyota haven't completed their testing yet or have and decided it's not a good idea yet with their current designs. Until Toyota specs...
