A few General XML Questions

    I have a couple of car dealers.....the XML map is auto generated evertime the page is loaded. Now a few questions.

    1) I have the ability to set the "Change Frequency" to daily, weekly, and monthly. What is this useful for? Obviously I would want the important pages that are updated more often to be set at daily or weekly right?

    2) I can change the "Priority Level" 0-100. What good is this. Should they all have the same priority level? Should some have 50% priority while other more important have 75%?

    Also Google never crawls my car inventory....or it will crawl a coupld of cars while there are hundreds that go uncrawled. How can I get the car listing crawled more? Should I mix up the order of the XML map so the stuff at the top changes. Because right now it is always the same order?

    Here is an example:
