I do wonder if my short distance driving would exacerbate valve deposits though. I go just barely 1 mile from home to the first job and then around a mile or two between jobs, and the weather here isn't exactly warm (still frosty in the mornings). This is why I long for a PHEV. If it were only one or two jobs then a bicycle would make sense, but doing up to 30,000 miles a year would be a bit hard to do on a bicycle. So far the Avalon is holding up, but I change the oil religiously before the manual's specified 5,000 miles.
