I spent almost nothing.
The Green Oil cost the same as the 5W30 from the oil barrel (I let Honda do my maintenance). Now that it gets freezing cold I can see the benefit, finally. Cold starts are less punishing.
Let them free up and clean my brakes, that set me back some 55 € or so. Was worth it, or so I hope.
Got me some replacement LEDs, all peanuts.
A few bucks on 3M foam tape.

Then I don't really do much better than last year, which still is a lot better than EPA.
The wheelnut adjustment and aired up tires are the biggest contributors and they were free.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
