Polished it up to help the bugs from sticking this week. We will be driving and towing everywhere to go fishing. The new air filter and cabin filter will be here this afternoon. I also ordered these, our insurance rebate just covered 4 of them.

Looking sharp! Interestingly, after my run to Hopeless Deathspot this morning in the HellKitty (yes, it gets used for other things too - being as versatile as they are) I stopped for gas. Once the Jerry cans and tank were filled with $1.62/L Ultra94 (WTF! The gas cost almost as much as the 4 gallons of deck stain I just bought) a Go Green HC pulled in (I've met the owner, he's special) - and I thought of you because it is such a rare colour and looks great in direct sunlight.
Also yours isn't covered in huge Redeye stickers despite not being a Redeye.
In closing, I watched Death Proof again last night - forgot it had a big Vanishing Point angle to it.
It's partner in fishing, 2020 Lund Fury 16 foot. All polished up, cleaned inside too. I serviced the Mercury 25 HP EFI 4 stroke. It actually takes the same oil filter as a Ford Escort 1.9L. I used 2L of our Coop Sonic 5W50 full synthetic Marine approved oil. I left the NGK plugs in, pulled one of the 3, looked perfect, only a few hours on them.
Apparently my first quick clean up under hood was subpar according to the Boss, a quick spray down with Turtle Wax Ice detailer.
Here is the last of my Turtle Wax Ice liquid applied, too bad it is no longer sold in Canada. I use Ice paste on all the lower plastic, even tires.

Good thing SGI sent us nearly $1000 in rebates because I just spent $991 and change for all 4 tires with all the raping fees. Maxtour LX GT tires for my Challenger GT😉
Doing an oil change today, again full synthetic Mobil 5W20 this time, CT had a great deal I could not pass up, less than $5 a Liter. Right at 40%, lowest we have let it go was 38%, I believe. Less than 10,000 km and a lot of towing. Usually that equals 10 to 11,000 Km. We have been averaging around 20 mpg Imperial towing our boat at 110 km an hour. If we do the speed limit around 25 mpg. Mixed driving, averaging 30 mpg and mid 30's pure highway. I also really like the Turtle Wax Ice, great on any car, modern cars with plastic trim, even better. Heck you can put it on tires👍.
I have been putting on 245 km on multiple trips on Regular 87 10% ethanol gas, I was averaging low to mid 34 mpg. I added 3/4 tank of 91 non ethanol Premium gas and got these numbers.
It is a good 1/2 to nearly 1 mpg over Regular, same conditions. I am testing one more tank of Premium, see if I gain anymore.
