Default how 'bout THIS for mileage!

I have a 95 civic vx
Just turned 400,000 miles.
Still gets 35 to 42 mpg.
First clutch at 300,000 miles.
You think it's time for that timing belt? (kidding)

I used to know a guy with a Toyota with like 600,000 miles on it and it ran great. These cars will keep going if you take care of them.

i once heard that a guy in the states(not sure where) had a mid to late 80's accord and the odometer actually reset itself..... now THAT is a lot of driveing... but you are getting there only 600,0000 more to go

Yeah, my friend's mom had a '74 Volvo wagon that exceeded 1.1 million miles (tracked by the first owner to 984,000 since the odo resets at 100k). Then it died.
