I usually get 300-350 miles on 10-10.5 gallons of gas.

What do you mean by "tune"?

Hey, my brake light indicator is on in the mornings cause it's hella cold. I'm going to take it into Acura for warranty service sooner or later.

You don't have to do that.

1 Try unscrewing both brake fluid reservoirs.
2 Carefully clean the housing on both reservoirs.
3 Carefully "dunk" each plunger in the brake fluid and turn the plunger upside down so it lubricates the mechanism (you may need to do this several times to ensure it's well lubricated).
4 Carefully screw each cap back in place.
5 Fin.

Or hey, you're under warranty, let them do the same thing.

I are teh lazy . I checked the fluid and it was fine, that's good enough for me. I'll probably do that stuff though, but I also need to take it in to have them look at my driver's side window anyways .
