Oh I'm a HUGE dork!
And my mileage has been sucking lately. I went from a 32mpg average in Nashville (commuted 25 miles each way, all freeway) to what you see here (4 miles each way, lots of lights, and I get pissed off and jack rabbit between the old people)...

Don't feel bad, when my Tiburon hit 100,000 miles (about 60,000 miles ago), I treated my friends to a dinner at the Korean BBQ for celebration. Total cost was $290.

I don't drive mine much - 2005 with 18,000 miles. But I do get great mileage when I do drive it.

Thats another thing my Gls dont have from a Gt, unless some GLS sedans have it too and mine just got unlucky, i have a 2001 so maybe thats why.

The only bad thing that I can think of when it comes to getting 100,000 miles is that your warranty is up! :) I've had mine brand new since 2005 and have almost 45,000 miles. So I am at about average for yearly mileage. But you can bet your sweet butt I will be taking pictures. :) I'm a dork.

I think that the only bad part of having 100,000 miles on it is the fact that the warranty isn't good anymore. Oh, and I will take pictures too. But my car was brand new when I bought it, 53 miles on it. Now there is only 44,8XX on it. :) So I'm doing good. As far as gas mileage goes I get around 345-360 miles to a tank. Depending on if it's winter fuel or summer fuel. They oxygenate the fuel in the winter time to give everyone crappier gas mileage...awesome huh? So we get to pay almost $4 a gallon for crap gas. blah!

im going to pull the ecu fuse before my trip today. see if i can get my mpg back up. :D

especially wiht gas prices in michigan (3.70 for cheap gas (car) and 3.95 for premium (bike) ) i need all the mpg i can get.

i do get about 26.5 mpg on the freeway towing my bike and fully loaded car.
