I have put 45,000 miles on my 1600 since March of 2013 when I installed a five speed. That works out to 7500 miles per year, 3500 of which is a round trip from Michigan to Key West every April.

I stopped by Dale Spooner's shop today and pulled up next to a 'well used' looking blue GT with trailer attached in the parking lot. On seeing it, I thought, that the poor thing deserved some TLC.
When I walked into the shop and learned that the GT has over 700,000 miles, welI, I guess it has earned a few paint blemishes, LOL!
Nice to meet you Glenn!

I do about 2500 miles a year and get about 26 mpg on average. That is with a 5 to 6 month driving season and at least one 1000 mile round trip.
