The power steering return hose presents a similar situation. You need about .6 meters, but you have to buy a full meter. Then the excess is totally useless. (My figures are approximate.)
It seems that a lot of the dealer parts departments operate in accordance with the same motto: "The customer is never right."
If a gas station can sell gas by the thousandth of a gallon, you would think that bulk hose could be sold by the centimeter!!!
