Can't even begin to imagine $7 gas per gallon. And I know from living in Cal. long ago that you folks can have some pretty lengthy commutes to work and back home. Before I retired my round trip to and from was right at 75 miles. Many times 6 & 7 days at a time for weeks straight, luckily no mile long free way traffic jams as I suspect you have from time to time. 3,000 oil changes came pretty regular for me but the worst was driving in the snow and black ice that comes up quick.
