Yeah, I know. I drive low mileage per year ( 1500- 4k) on the FRS, and as much of the maintenance is done by myself. I put more miles on my xA per year, that takes 87 octane. I also ride my bicycle as much as I can as well. I keep yearly mileage driven to 8-10K. In other words, in my lifetime I shouldn't need another vehicle (at my age) , so I'm pretty much done. Gas... insurance , Registration ( a custom plate would be part of this) on FRS is about $280, and what needed maintenance per year is what I pay.
