Yes the truck is 18 yo and 199,000 miles. Burns the same 1 qt in 3,000 since brand new. Yes I expect to keep it 20+ years and I further expect it to still be running great when I sell it.

Of course I drive like I stole it, $40 in beer, $30 in Copenhagen and $50 in lunches a week, so $1.69 a week is not a significant savings for me.
