I am in a quandry and I am hoping a voice of reason can point me in the
right direction. I am the proud owner of the above mentioned vehicle that
currently has 195K on the ODO. I am two years away from buying another car
and the Accord is now burning about a quart of oil a week.

The quandry is this:

Bite the bullet and have the top end of the motor done since otherwise the
car is in good shape and will probably pull me at least another 50-100K with
a new top end

or

Just check the oil twice a week and keep feeding the beast oil for the next
two years and oh, yeah, since I live in the "workers paradise" of
Kalifornia, hope I pass the smog test?

any insight and advice will be considered and appreciated.
