how much does a gas/diesel spend on maintenance (oil, anti-freeze, spark

Antifreeze, spark plugs and tune-ups, zero unless you're driving a car
from the 80's. Modern cars don't need any of that done at 80K miles.
Obviously you either don't know anything about cars either or are lying
to further the tree hugger cause.


Actually, my Hyundai Sonata with 2.0 turbo is supposed to have the
plugs changed at 48,000 miles. They also recommend oil changes at 4800
instead of the usual 7500 miles on the V6

Oh, at 40k I also changed the cabin filter at a cost of $9.
At 100k I will have spent about $900. No anti-freeze, no tune up.
