Love the Fit...
High grade gas felt great in the Yaris, anything else just felt sluggish. Will continue putting only 93 grade fuel in the new ride... The Yaris reacted best to Exxon and BP. Last week was the first week I re-fueled the Fit, since I got it only two weeks ago. Exxon fuel may not be the best fit for the Fit... will try Shell or Sunoco next.
Am currently breaking in the car. Drove to NYC for Memorial Day weekend. Will hit 800 miles when I get back home to Alexandria. Looking forward to hitting 5000 miles as that is when I will do my first oil change. Will change to Mobil1!
In the future, I'd like to do some suspension work... Did a bit on the Yaris, which was well worth the work... Will call upon the skills of Tim for this.
In the UK, there are places that let you rent space to work on your car. You can get access to a lift... I would love to have that here in the States... Would always do my own oil changes, e.g... You can get 5qts of Mobil1 from Wal-mart for like $22...
