Ouch! $55 for an oil change? That's about $35 more than an oil change on my Si with synthetic (DIY, of course) meaning I can buy an extra tank of gas plus a little bit more (~15gallons or so) over the course of an oil change interval of 7500 miles. Since I average about 38 MPG in mixed driving, the extra 15 gallons of gas I could buy with my savings bumps my cost compariable adjusted MPG to ~41. Starting to get into the bottom of HCHII territory!

I'm still thinking of picking up the extra underbody panels that you guys get and sticking them on my Si. Thats got to be worth something.
