*POLL* How many miles are on your car?

[comptiger5000]

105,340 miles on the Jeep. It had 99,820 on it when I bought it at the end of January. The gas mileage may suck, but I love it anyway!

As far as driving gently vs hard, being hard on an engine doesn't actually shorten its lifespan, and by running it hard (even if it's just an occasional Italian tuneup), you keep the rings seated well, and it carbons up less. That is, assuming it's well maintained and in good mechanical condition. Hard running can shorten a tranny's life a bit though.

2009 Vibe = 19K
2004 Vibe = 135K
1999 Malibu = 165K

Poll options spacing: You're doing it wrong.



You're suggesting that the difference betweeen 10k and 90k is just as important as the difference between 310k and 390k. Not so. Next time use geometric spacing where the next poll option is x times bigger than the previous.

[/math lesson]

I'm pretty sure I've crossed 50k by now. The car's odometer only shows up when I'm not using the segment fuel consumption display, which is very seldom.

Wow! Those Honda Civics sure do last!

I've got 320,000+ on mine; speedo is intermittent currently though I'm still tracking via GPS... probably closer to 325,000 miles.

Purchased it with ~300k on the clock; still runs smooth as ever

Im not suggesting that anything is better than anything else, I am just seeing how many miles are on each car here

besides people like different things, like some people will brag about having over 500,000 miles and some will brag about having 500 miles on their car

Im wasn't trying to make anything a contest

My 94 VX is just about to hit 60k miles, salvage rebuilt, bought in March 2008.

The Fiberfab Migi (53 TD replica) kit on a 73 VW donor has 64k miles on a 1973 model.

The 2008 Altima Coupe has 20k, still in the shop being rebuilt, also a salvage vehicle.

The car is around 170,000 and the truck has been rolled past the max several times so I went with 250,000-300,000. It is hard to keep track of miles on a farm truck when you are the second owner.

Switched to all synthetic fluids about 5,000 miles ago. I think my car really likes it. Consistantly above 30 mpg except in winters when it gets cold and I make short trips going to school. I am going to install an engine block heater this fall.

I am currently on a road trip in Jacksonville, FL. We are going home to Arlington, TX this weekend.

Arlington, TX to Jacksonville, FL: 33 mpg average, 60-65 mph, ac on the whole time (we had the dog with us). The best tank we averaged close to 36 mpg going about 55 with ac on.

When we get home I am going to replace the differential fluid that I didn't realize my car had. Whoops! Thinking about changing my synthetic oil at 6,000 miles (this will be my 2nd refill with Mobil Synthetic for High Mileage Vehicles 5w30 with Mobil Filter)

306k km / 190k miles on my Jetta.

It's currently laid up to solve an electrical gremlin and re-cert for another province.

Regarding that engine/body comment ...

I bought my car in 2006, and then VW re-released (in Canada, at least) the "City" Jetta/Golf - same Mk IV body style as my 2000. So, when the body on mine eventually goes, I'll carefully consider the option of buying a newer 2007-2009 City Jetta, since it should be close to 99% compatible with my car's shell, and around 8 years newer, with Greta's little ticker still running the works.
