I just drove over 3300km over the past week and my coolant level dropped from max line before my journey to the halfway point between max and min (Both checked in the morning). I was regularly cruising between 3-4k in 6th gear for hours at a time.
Meanwhile, my old civic that I put 40k km from 116k km to 156k km, I never had to top it off ever...
Same, I have a bottle of scion blue premixed (55/45 mix in Canada) that I just top off every 6 months or so... only cost me $15 for 3.7L jug.
