( Can you please post a larger image of your printout, or type out the printout ? I can barely read it. )
I'd love to insert a larger picture. Still haven't figured out how to do a direct insert into the post and can't find a help file to tell me how. Got tips?

The biggest increase in wear and tear is if you do a lot of EOC - either constant starts from the starter will kill it quicker, or bump starting with clutch will cause it to end it's life sooner.
Because it is an auto. tranny I don't do EOC, just neutral coasting. No extra wear on the starter.

Hello jjackstone.
What are the one way distances of you most frequent trips?
Have you done any mods to the car/engine?
Most frequent is a five mile trip to work but only when both bicycles are down or heavy rain.
The car is pure stock at the moment and bought used in 2004 with 21500 miles on it. Will be adding synthetic fluids to it in the near future. I don't keep quite the logs a lot of you do but I know that the last time I checked I was averaging 10 to 15% above old EPA numbers. Do have the ScanGauge to check with.


It's been a while but I have actually seen specs that showed either a Honda or Toyota(can't recall which) that put out cleaner air than was going in(which in LA may not be saying much).
