My First 400 MPT

This is the first time i hit 400 miles a tank mixed driving. knowing that my car has 165k miles. i usually only average 275-300 miles but recently i changed my oil with the castrol high mileage and the fram high mileage oil filter and noticed performance differance

400 mark was just a little after the gas light came on

I've got mine to 430 miles on a tank before, cruise control at 80 mph. Good feeling. I've averaged around 320 miles per tank over all though, 50/50 driving.

Couple weeks ago I got 475 on ~13.5gal, was about 35mpg. Was about 80 highway, 20 city. You just gotta give these cars the right gas and it'll go forever.

Someone just posted that they have over 200K on their CL, but I can't find the post right now.

Sly has over 140K on an 03 6spd...

Brett (mclarenf3387) could probably rattle off a list of members with high mileage...

Search for some threads with "mileage" in 'em... I started one for the 6spd owners several weeks ago. Before I started it, I searched to see if there was already one. There wasn't, but there were alot of auto threads...
