or gremlins are taking my E for a joyride @ night. In one week and 5 days, I have surpassed the "break-in" period. Actually, I hit 750 today, wooohoooo!!!

Now I can drop the hammer, like a bat out of hell when the light turns green.

Hi

Let's see, at that rate you will rack up > 50,000 miles a year. Good thing it's a Honda ...

Yeah that's pretty cool, mine is only @ 90% Speaking of the "trip-click" feature, I have to admit that I am envious of my wife's '07 CR-V "trip" features. It displays a "digital" read-out of the fuel & oil level, what the mpg for the day/month is/was and the % of oil life, it also animates which tire is low (TPMS) and drive mode (2wd or 4wd). I know it's probablly not the most awesome display around, but it is pretty jazzy. :)

That's not an impossible notion with the amount of driving we do. We have been known to go from the DC area to NY, back down to ATL within a 72hr span...just for fun on some weekends. :)

Not on the 05. It's new for 07 SC's, not sure about the EX.

Hi

Well now you need to look up the 250,000 mile / 5 year page in the warranty advertisement ...

Bob

break-in is about 3500 miles actually

Give me 2 more weeks. :D

lol. it took me about 4 months. I still don't even have 5000 on it

i couldve sworn i read every 7500 for oil changes in the manual?

Hi

Does oil need to be changed? :D :D :D

Bob

Well... I know my sisters car she got for $3,000 put 100K on it and only one set of brakes one set of tires and two oil changes. I think she got her moneys worth.

P.S. she told me shes not going to do any thing more to it and wait till it dies.

Mine will be 5 weeks old in 2 days and today, I hit 3,200 miles.

At the rate my SC is being driven, we'll put 1,600 miles a year on it. I'm still on the first tank of gas after seven weeks of ownership. :-o

This is my first post, bought my SC with 7 miles on it on November 8th and today I have 7850 on it.

Hi

I'm at about 1600 miles after three weeks. Pretty much on track for 20,000 miles per year.

Bob

P.A maybe more miles if ya hit some of those meets..:grin:

Got mine in mid-november with 32 miles on, its up to 3200 now... Glad to know I'm not the only person to throw on those miles.

I hot 2500 in about 3 weeks!!! And I don't even work!!! :shock:

ummm gas cheep where ya live girls? :???:

Gas is about $2.18 - $2.24 here. Oooh, this makes me curious........gonna have to post this as a question!

i'm at over 1,700 miles this month so far. didn't even think i was driving that much..... oops :) i guess the 2 1/2 hour trip to find snow yesterday helped:cool: at least i got to do some snowboarding on REAL snow.

$2.35 here for regular unleaded

it is 2.40 here in P.A

Heather,

2,500 miles in three weeks? You need to stay home and clean that nasty filthy house, bleach your tupperware, take up quilting.....

$2.25 at Costco today... I drive up to my brothers house a couple times a month about an hour and a half a way.... thats where my miles go...

it is 2.40 here in P.A

Hi

It's 2.30 in the *good* part of PA today. :D :D

About 10 cents cheaper in Indiana this morning.

Bob

PA FUN,LOL well the wrong side is getting screwed then....:-o

Gas here in Norman goes at about 2.13 for regular. Not to bad here. I've never spent over 25 dollars putting in a full tank when the empty light comes on.

Hi

And the station is how many feet from the well? :D :D :D

State tax laws on gas are *very* strange. It can be tough to compare gas between states.

Nasty filthy house -- dang! Aside from looking lived in (toys and sippy cups) my house is pretty clean! I make sure business is done before I go play!!:rolleyes:

Actually, the week I got my truck my grandpa had a stroke and they took him to the heart hospital in Lafayette which is about 30 miles from my house. He was there for about a week. Then my mother came into town. Plus, what can I say, I'm active. My daughter and I attend playgroup twice a week in Lafayette. There are only 6000 people in my town, so I go where there is shopping and things to do! :D

my 07 lx has the oil life thing in the trip computer. i got my truck sat so i only have 170 miles on it. ill be through the 600 mile break in in about a week or so.

Hi

I wonder if the oil life thing does anything more than just counts miles?

Bob

After I broke in my 05 Element, I put over 100,000 klicks on her in the first year doing my animal road show. No major mechanical problem with this babe and I am up to 180,000 km on her
