 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!
