I'll add to this as well. Just got back from putting over 1800 miles on, driving from Ohio to Lake Superior and back. (This was the July 4th trip that was cut short some of you may remember) Saw some relatives on the way up and back. The longest day of driving was the first day, put 737 miles on. Happy to report no problems. One curious note. Until I added a bottle of Chevron Proguard injector cleaner we were getting 18.4 mpg for all around, mostly highway. After the bottle (5 tankfuls now) we are getting 20.5 mpg, again all around driving, but mostly highway. I must of had really dirty injectors or something, but other than the gas mileage improving, no other real noticeable differences to note.

So after all the problems in early July, we've put 3,800 miles on (two big trips; 1000 miles and 1800 miles) and still running great!
