Daily drive is to the base I work on. I live less than 15 minutes away. I don't beat on the car until she has warmed up. Sometimes I start the car 5 minutes prior to my daily commute. I took the sample after the car sat for about 10 minutes. I often take long trips. Average of 5 hours every weekend. Sometimes 6-11 hours when I drive home.
