    2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek with 20K miles....like Protus said if I keep my foot off the pedal it'll get 33-35 highway staying 65-70mph. Bump it up to 70+ and it drops to 28-30mph. That is with just me in the car and occasionally my wife as well, and of course my GHB.

      12mpg city. 16-18mpg highway dependent on speed. 09 Jeep wrangler JKU heavily modified. I need to get one of those 30+ MPG cars. I will save a small fortune on fuel alone.

      Forgot to add 103,000 on the clock

        Just thought I would add the car I replaced back in January 2015, but still have and runs well.
        2003 Toyota Matrix, stick shift, (essentially a hatchback Corolla), with 290,000 miles. Still gets 30-33 highway. Replaced brake pads at 80,000 miles because my mechanic (friend of mine) said..."but it's got 80,000 miles and I know it still has some pad left....but it's 80,000 miles"! So I went ahead and did it. Some batteries, hoses, belts and bulbs over the years that I replaced mostly just maintenance. Ran synthetic oil since the first oil change at 500 miles. Replaced oil, oh maybe every 7500- 25,000 miles (okay I missed a couple intervals). Now needs a clutch replacement but I figure at close to 300K miles why not. Probably time for the brakes to be done again, but when my mechanic looked at it about 3000 miles ago he said, "wow, I can't believe they made it this far. You must really like to downshift, and that highway miles you drive really helps. You still have about 10,000 miles I guess on the pads". I have let the car semi-retire. It's still driven daily, but just not the highway miles I use to put on it. It's driven only about 20-30 miles a day now and mostly city.

        I think I got my money's worth out of this car.
