If either of these are impacted, there needs to be some sort of restitution for myself and others who have paid a premium for these vehicles.
I can't imagine that any kind of fix will help your mileage. It's got to hurt it if anything, right?

I wonder if people can refuse the recall? But then would the car be "roadworthy/legal (I don't know what to call it) - man, this whole thing is going to get messy.

It's definitely going to affect resale value which is why there is a lot of chatter about lawsuits being prepared for "diminished value" in the US.
