So, you've got 110k (miles or kilometers?) in 18 years; that's considerably more than the 990 miles I've driven mine, from May 22, 2021 to November 22, 2022, after 18 months of ownership. My odometer reads 210999 miles today.


I'll cross 1000 miles driven, on Thanksgiving, when I actually get to drive it 80 miles (mostly on highways at 60 mph and above, instead of to shopping malls at low speeds in stop & go traffic). The combination of a year of low speed operation along with many, many hours of engine running in the driveway, while testing for vacuum leaks & trying out various data-gathering Android apps (on several devices) has kept my avg.mpg fuel consumption reading between 14.5 and 15.2 mpg. Instant mpg is much better, according to the data, but driving in traffic makes it highly inconsistent. I'd like to see what it can achieve, after a long continuous stretch of highway (and show my wife that it isn't all that bad, since the pickups we have get similar or better, using 5.7 and 6.0 liter V8's).
