6-8k? I think I will be doing an oil analysis if I end up getting a long commute. Now that I think about it, I set 4000 miles as my oil change interval because it takes me about a year to drive one of the cars that far and I think a year is long enough.

speaking of which....actually it would be sneakers which averages out to two pairs each year so about 60.00 a year. Gas wouldn't be that much a week but it's the parking tht employees have to pay for 120.00 a month!
