To everyone suggesting that it's due to the water "evaporating". Has anyone actually use a coolant strength tester? Yes the reservoir isn't air tight but neither has any other car I've owned, and none of my previous cars have ever lost significant amounts of coolant, even in decades.
i've got a theory, bear with me for a minute.

are you stick or auto?

if you're stick, do you somewhat follow the 'eco' light, and attempt to keep revs under 2k when possible?

do you ever do rolling 2nd gear starts?
