Big name fuel company fuel in your vehicle, or cheapest possible fuel from anywhere?
 
No! - especially not the ones that allegedly smell like a 'new car' !

Driving taking into account your passengers entire comfort, or just drive like you usually do and to hell with them?
 
Plan your route exactly.

Use a Satnav only, or use a road atlas so as to know a little of the surrounding area?
 
Satnav [90% of the time].

Battery Operated Tire Inflator or Service Station?

Cheers, og
 
50/50 [Either, really].

Oil change frequency: Closer to 3,000 miles [5,000Klm] or 6,000 miles [10,000Klm]?

Cheers, og
 
I never change the oil on my damned 2004 Volkswagen Golf. I just add some oil from time to time.

5000 Klm with my 1979 Audi 100 (US: Audi 5000), and meanwhile even this interval is a bit too large.

Oil filter change frequency - the same as the oil change frequency - yes or no?

Coolant/tire-air check ['Actual', not 'Recommended']: Weekly or monthly?

Cheers, og
 
Monthly - and 'always' before a longer than usual journey.

Tyres, identical? - or don't care even if they are very different? (but legal)

Identical in brand and model, but size can vary depending on the car. Important for grip, braking, and handling characteristics. However, I have run different types of tires front and rear before but never push the car hard. On the Porsche Boxster though, very important as its quite easy to want to push hard to its limits.

18 inch or 20 inch wheels?
