My only point is that these systems, as designed, fail to anticipate normal wear and tear over the life of the automobile. Obviously there will be parts that fail or wear out, but the CEL comes on even when the vehicle is performing well. How are we to keep these older vehicles???

Where are the thrifty Pelicans???
The thrifty Pelicans suggested covering the CEL with a piece of tape.

Seriously, if it's not hurting the drivability just ignore the light.
