DUDE you and your manual transmission suck! lol I average about 25-27 on my crappy auto.
LOL that's the problem with Auto's and 4 cyl's. I've been as high as 36 on 1 tanks and low as 25 when towing a boat. Normally get bewteen 29-31, mostly highway driving.

108...i'll never catch you!
just did my gas mileage, averaged 27mpg (combined) on a boosted auto?Just hit the 120,000 mile mark here on my 02 MP5. Im pushing for 200k. Then I think its time to get a new car at that point. Or.... just drop a new engine in. The body is in great shape. I had a small rust spot on the rear fender but was able to weld and paint a new piece in. Other than that I love this car. I still get dropped jaws when I tell peeps about how many miles are on the darn thing. Anyways... good luck on racking the miles...(btw, still getting ~30 mpg on a manual, can't argue with that!)

Well if it makes you or anyone else feel better about the durability of their cars. My p5 just had the orig wp and t-stat replaced at 160k.
The water pump was still good, but I figured I might as well changed it beings that it was the original one. My issue was my t-stat was causing my car to overheat.

Nice. You will love it. Mark
I feel bad, the old girl hasn't moved in over a week. Will probably have to sell her soon. 157K and no issues, still gets over 30 on the highway.
New car just hit 1000. Long way to go to join this club again.

I feel guilty everytime I leave the house. Time to put her up for sale.
184,000 and still rolling..
Decided to bite the bullet and have the timing belt, water pump, and all accessory belts replaced last week. All were the original pieces. Total charge was just under 6 bills. Car was still running strong. CEL just came on, had a scan done, time for O2 sensors (still original units). Guess I'll do those this weekend.

wow! i know guys who did the belt and pump at like 60K!!! you got 184K out of them...(cool)...do we have anyone over 200K yet?
bazooka joe- I am at 191,819 as of this morning, which I am guessing I should hit 200k by March or so. I did my first timing belt at 152k, so I should be good there. Come spring the P5 will get new struts (coilovers), hawk brake pads, spark plugs, some beefier engine mounts, bigger rear sway bar, and possibly a new clutch and lighter flywheel. I really need to get some pics up for the naysayers to look at, I still need a new digi-cam cable to get all the pics off the camera on to the computer (cat issues). This is great to see all the high mileage cars still running well. Congrats everyone! Talk at you all later.
