Escape - 1 or 2
Ranger - 1
Really only 2 or 3. Occasionaly I work on my sisters car but that's only once a year also. Don't change the lawnmowers every year except the tiller and rider if I use them that is. 5 max I'd say.

About an average of four or five per year-
the '95 Civic gets about two;
the '77 Chev 454 pickup about one or less;
the Honda Harmony II lawn mower gets changed once, sometimes twice, yearly;
my Karcher pressure washer with Honda engine, once a year or less;
and, the Honda multi-gizmo with an itty-bitty four-stroke cycle engine gets changed about once every two to three years or so.

You should open a Jiffy-Boob!
Between 10-12 currently. I'm on a 36k a year pace and, despite avid reading here, still don't feel 100% comfortable going over 4k OCI's. I do 80% highway, and the changes are losing their charm, so I will probably adjust soon.
5K is the old 3K. Even at 5K you would still have a good buffer, especially because you do 80% highway driving.
On our two cars I was doing 8 changes total, but now just 5 will be more like it.
I do 1-2 on a few other cars. I'm cutting back a lot.

I know how you feel. I was a 3 month/3K guy forever - and that was using GC, M1 or PP. Now I'm up to 5K on the car and two/year on the truck - and VERY proud of myself.
I do still get the shakes a little tho -

About 4 per year.
Two for my ecotec saturn, two for the misses ecotec pontiac.
I stopped working on anyone elses car, no good deed goes unpunished, and it is too much liability anyways.
