Check that, now 6 years, Ref. post #14
To be a little more exact, 60 months, or 260 weeks, or 1,825 days, that is 43,800 hours, or we could say 2,620,800 minutes. As for the exact second at around 2:00 this afternoon that would have been 158,000,000.
In that time I have driven the car 75,440 miles and that averages out to 41 miles per day or 15,088 miles per year. That has cost me $8,908.64 in gas alone for the 226 fill-ups. The average mileage over this great journey was 25.8094 mpg. The maximum mileage was 29.59733 mpg and the minimum was 17.48944 mpg. Two words can explain that bad mileage, “Nelson Ledges”. The most I ever paid for a tank of gas was $62.65 and the least was $13.80. Another way to look at it would be a max of $4.38 per gallon and a min of $1.76 per gallon. Tweaking that a little closer, we had a range from $0.06 per mile to $0.22 per mile.
As for the maintenance history;
Mileage day of purchase Saturday 12/23/2006, was 28,090.

The best Christmas present ever. The car has been great and given me many fantastic memories and hopefully many more to come. ZHP, if you know it and own it, you know what I mean.
Happy holidays everyone.
