Get a honda Fit
you can get high 30's for MPGs, they only go for about 9k for an 2007 with 30k miles on em, and they are stupid cheap/easy to work on

Haha my 1985 Toyota doesn't even have 200k yet

its close tho at 189k by Damn!! 2000k on a Evo that is only 7-5 years old is a hell of a lot of driving. That just goes to show you that taking car of your car and maintaining it it will go for ever

I can't wait to see a Evo 8 hit 300k

I have seen a few guys here on the forum that are over 200k as well

I am pretty sure there is a Evo 9 in the 200k club as well and if I remember right I heard of a 03 Evo 8 that is close to 240K already

Still tho congrats man

Wow, I think your doing pretty damn good with the 26-28mpg. I drive about 50miles daily to and from work and average about 20mpg. What's your secret to the high gas millage?

+1

my 9 has 10K miles...

(not my daily though)

200K miles is amazing considering these cars are modded and all. I think if you keep good care of it, you might make another 200K!
