Once upon a time I had a V6 camry and that thing ate two transmissions before I put it out to pasture.

Really? How much do you drive? Back when I was averaging 500 miles a week I'd have to fill up like every 4-5 days. I miss getting 25 mpg in my Z. Now it's only like 19-20, but I'll take that over having to drive 500 miles a week :icon17:

I drive about 130 miles per day just from home to work, if I drop my little man off, that adds another 35 miles to the trip. I drive very conservative, on the Z b4 intake and exhaust, I got 29mpg, now I can't even get 23 mpg even I tried very hard. The Accord gets 30 mpg

what year??

My mom had a 95 XLE V6 and it had a transmission die in it.

You gotta keep up with the maintenance, the eclipse I had, had almost 100k miles, I was meticulous when it came to oil changes every 3k miles, replacing the air filters ever 10k miles, changed out the differential and transmission fluids at certain intervals.. when it came down to swapping out the spark pulgs my mechanic couldnt believe how clean the inside of the engine was. (you had to pull the head apart to get to the spark plugs)

But, basically long story short, maintenance goes a looong way.

Nothing to brag about unless you are pushing 450hp to the wheels

Otherwise get your POS hybrid out of the left hand lane... I hate having to drive around all of the dumb arsholes trying to hypermile in traffic..
