    Thank Kevin.. I think the previous owner must have had rear brake pad issues as
    the car now has cross drilled rotors and ceramic pads in the back.. I just had the car
    state ispected and the brakes (front and rear) were less than 25% worn.

    I'm replacing the upper mount that is a common failure as the rubber bushing is
    pretty well shot and I need to remove all the air intake stuff to do that so I'll remove
    the throttle body and give that a good cleaning just as a preventative thing..

    I'm a little over half way through my first full tank of gas and the trip computer
    says I'm averaging 26.4 mpg.. Beats the heck out of the past 'SUV's or wagons I've had, thats for sure~

    If you are in there taking stuff apart and are up to it, it might not be a bad time to replace the plugs. I had to do injectors on the rear bank and plugs all around on one of the guys' Freestyles here. To access the rear plugs you have to pull the upper intake off. It's not a terrible job, but it is a little time consuming.
