I drove like 85mph for like 8 hours straight (minus stops for food and gas)...and I checked my oil soon afterwards....and it was VERRRRY low. I drive about 80mph for 20 miles....to and from work....and I seem to be about a quart low every month and a half......then again...I also have like 150,000 miles or so...but it still runs strong.

I keep up on maintenance like a religion. Oil and filter every 3k, fuel filters at 15k, etc...
My tranny fluid kindda old. Need to change that.

I check oil before I do my long trip when I fill up, but I don't stop till the trip is over. The car has 156,000miles and runs very very good.

I think I'll start keeping the cruising at 80mph, with my short 95-100 mph bursts down to 15 minutes every so often. When I get a good CD in, I think I am doing 85, but I look down and I am hitting the speed limiter! damn thing jumps outta nowhere &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/alien.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':alien:'>
