Yep, interstate and country highway. Haven't done much at all. Tires at 46,000. Fluids and filters. Plugs and belt at 95,000. Everything else is original. I haven't even changed a bulb or a pad yet.

Yes. I reset trip B at 99,900 miles. 99.9 miles later it matched up. I was fortunate enough to be on an interstate off ramp so I just pulled over and took the pic.

Beautiful part of the country. I love the lush green lawns down south.

Now that SN/GF5 is out, and seeing the light here at BITOG, I'm using any name brand conventional thats on sale, which currently happens to be

+1 to the brand name conventional that's on sale. Wow did they damage your engine driving it to the front of the dealership? After hearing this and the cutting oil in the bulk tanks at a qwikie lube Imma start using bottled and do it myself on my 08 Focus.
