THough, that is a big jump. Or maybe its just one more way that the gas company can **** us, lol.

Best I have managed is 275 miles and that is right after my 60,000 maintenance with full syn oil change. I bought it at 55,000 and was getting about 250 miles at the time so the difference was not much after changing the air filter, water pump, tb and oil. (in reply to Sebba) Post #: 4
