Vehicles lose antifreeze because they loose coolant. You have a 13 year old vehicle. Your radiator and heater hoses may be leaking and should have been changed from original equipment by now. If they have not, change them before you are on the highway and they break. After that is done, and if you are still losing antifreeze, we will look for the leak.
When you start up, does white smoke come out the tail pipe? If so, you will need to check your head gasket.
You will need to look around your water pump and radiator for leaks.
