Another year, another 21,000 miles!

At the end of year 3 I said I expected the fuel economy to drop since I was changing over to all-seasons. In reality it actually went up slightly for 32.64 for the first 3 years to 33.34 for year 4. Probably not a material difference but I did expect it to drop.

Other than that, an uneventful year with Olivia. No visits to the shop except for the periodic maintenance service. I did have condensation in one tail light that has cleared with the less humid Spring. I plan to pull them off now and add the new gaskets while they are "dry".

The paint continues to disappoint, and really needs some touch-up on the front. Adding that to the list of things to do.

The driver side window has developed a habit of always not returning to its full, upright and locked position after the door is closed. Its not enough to leak but it is enough to cause some wind noise.

Other than that, she still continues on strong, and I still need to get to the few (primarily cosmetic) changes I have in my OP of this thread.

On interesting fact is my lifetime daily average miles is exactly the same (57 miles) as it was at the end of Year 3. That means my "Milestone chart" hasn't changed since I posted it a year ago. That means by year 5 I'll be on the other side of 100,000 miles.
