Small Trip Question

Im going to be taking a 140 mile round trip, trip. I haven't got the new flash update and wondering if I should premix. I have a 05 with 14k miles, I live in NY its going to be cooler out this weekend... 70's.. Just wondering if I should premeix and how to do that if I should. Call me ocd but I think my engine is good and I don't want to make it to the point of just above the vac test and not get a new engine but get stuck with a "tired" one.

Hello OCD

Go for a drive, your car will not blow up.

Listen to teh above posts.

The issue involving the flash and cruise control I believe was over VERY long periods of time with no high revs. If you're still paranoid....drop it into third and pass people every once in a while, and that will make you feel better. In fact, do that anyway

I took a short 4000 mile drive in mine before any flashes came out for it, here I am 40k miles later and still no major issues.
