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:

The sitemap will NOT MAKE the bots actually crawl the site, it only indicates there are URIs that MAY be crawlable.
