Since you are a frugal expert I am shocked that you are on a 80k rotation. If this is your philosophy I recommend a 95-100k rotation. You'll beat spark plugs replacement, timing belt replacement, and the second replacement of brakes and tires. Probably a first or second battery replacement as well.
Playing this out a bit further, and since you don't follow maintenance schedules, with your willingness to pay for oil and brakes you could easily go to 120k or 160k
