I don't think me or my wife have had this car to 4500. Hm...maybe when we have to give it the pedal getting on the freeway at times, I just don't think so.

Yes the computer display is what I am looking at and I recently reset it.

I don't let my car warm up in winter. I just go very light on it for the first half mile or so.

No commute...I work at home. When I do go out it is to the gym - 4 miles one way, cup of coffee - 2 miles one way, etc. Stop and go at 25 mph to 40 mph. Going to the gym there are are 5 stop lights and two stop signs. It is a high probability that I get the red light. The last time I re-set the computer my average MPH was 21 and that was probably over 100 miles.

To have the temp needle hit half way, the car does take a bit longer than I like and maybe easily be a mile or more.

I check the tire pressure every month and I am due to check them.

I haven't checked the plugs yet because it has been too darn cold out.
