Service at 140k. I had the tires rotated last week. I changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, and spark plugs. My city driving gas mileage is usually about 19 to 20 mpg. For the last 3 tanks it has been in the 15 to 16 mpg area. I put some Denso Iridium in this time. I topped off the washer fluid and added 3/4 gallon to the radiator and overflow tank. I think I added anti-freeze at 120k so I will pay more attention to it over the next 5k miles. Brake fluid and transmission fluid were the right color and levels. The next time I drive it I will top it off and add injector cleaner.
I posted that April 5th. I filled the tank on the 8th and added a fuel system cleaner. I filled up this morning for the first time since then. I got 20.1 mpg on that tank. All of the driving was city driving with many trips of only 2 miles where everything had not come up to operating temperature.
I typically drive the truck to work in the morning and switch out to the motorcycle at lunch. Then there are the days I drive my wife's car because she wants me to fill it with gas, wash it, or do something else with it. If I don't drive it for more than a day I hook it up to a trickle charger that I have hardwired inside the hood. It is not uncommon for it to sit a week or two at certain times of the year.
