Re: How low can you go....
OK, i'll preface this with a few details from my last vehicle: Infiniti QX4 (bascially a Pathfinder which I am sure you all knew). Bought it used with about 26.5K miles on it. At about 80K I put new tires on it because winter was coming and I thought 80K on a set of tires was a little unusual and better to be safe then sorry. I think the stock tires are rated for 50K.
At about 88K I had the front disc brakes done (new pads and rotors) for the first time! 88K on brakes? Even if they were done before I purchaes the truck, that it still about 60K on the brakes. I inquired about the back drums. Dealer said they were fine. They'd adjust them. Last oil change at 109K miles, I asked about rear brakes. "Nope. They're fine." So with that said, I am not too hard on my vehicles I guess.
H3 now is about 1 month old, did a few road trips into the Adirondacks. Have about 2100 miles on her now. My second tank got a reported 20 mph, pretty much straight highway miles. And the average of all the fills ups is 19MPG. So, that said, I have reached the 400mile odom mark on 1 tank, but usually try to fill up on a Sunday when the local gas station has 5 cent off a gallon sale. My driving usually stays under 75mph on the high way. So I am pretty happy with the truck!
