To heck with it....Even when the warning light comes on indicating low gas there seems to be lots left. Think I'll just keep adding and save a few bucks. The old girl has 214,000 km (133,750 miles) on her. Change the oil/filter every 3,000 km. Every couple of months there's something needs work.
Now I need front strut mounts or bearings or whatever they're called. May as well keep the car until it rusts away or dies altogether - body is still in good shape after almost 10 years of winter salt and everything else nature threw at it, so I can't complain. Will do some spray work around the fenders this weekend.
