because the trees they were made from are scarce and the wine industry pays more for cork than the automotive industry does.

Because the natural materials are not 100% compatable with synthetic oils.

I have a Midget and it is nice to go to the local MG parts shop and pick up all the parts you need at a very low cost and not be told they have to order it from Japan.
