60,000 Miles

So, as Chris and I drove to Utah last weekend, I hit 60,000 miles on my car! It's an '05 Liberty. I guess I drive a little too much, huh? I bought the car with 6 miles on it. I have driven it hard, but it has been a good car. On the way home from Utah, the check engine light came on and the gas gauge fell to empty (on a full tank of gas). I started to get scared and think my car was going to fall apart. Needless to say, we kept driving because Chris looked under the hood and everything was fine. He read the manual and it said that if the gas cap wasn't quite tight, this is what would happen. In Burley, we filled the tank and sure enough the gas cap wasn't quite tight! The check engine light was still on and 50 miles down the road, the gas gauge fell to empty again. Oh, no, I thought! The gas cap was on tight this time, my car is surely falling apart. After we got to Nampa, all the lights went off and the gas tank was working properly. Now, 3 days later and everything is working fine! I guess it's a big deal to get the gas cap tight!
