Up to 38.7 MPG now!

As the temperature slowly rises, so does the tank average reported by my Camry. I guess it's probably because it no longer needs to start the engine just to keep the car warm. It's 34 something during winter but I've seen around 37.4 lately. When I checked today, it's 38.7 MPG! Very nice, my friend, esp. when gas is close to $4 per gallon now.

Turning off the "Maint Reqd" message

It's been flashing the message for a while, but the trouble is I already had the maintenance, even before the message started. So I did a little quick search and found this tip here:

It worked fine for me.

Google was probably faster than waiting for a dealer technician to talk to me. :-) BTW, in the process I also found Toyota's online manual site, www.toyotaiguide.com, which is easy to use.
