Who has the Most Miles on their xD?
#47
I've got just over 42,000 miles on my '09 now... but my average is down to just 65 miles per day. Mostly because I only work four days a week instead of five now... and I'm not driving up to York PA every weekend to work on our house... finally got it rented! Can't sell that house to save our lives... damned economy.

nice. Depending on the number of shows I attend in the summer, and how far they are, my monthly varies, not to mention the holidays i get, and vacation days, where I don't put the 100 miles a day round trip to work on it.

I hear ya. I average 100 miles a day as I live a ways from my office. I travel often so the car is at the airport on a reg basis in covered parking.
I bought it specifically as a daily driver that I planned to rock some miles on. Best choice I have made in awhile. Very versitile car that gets excellent gas mileage. Also the car has been rocking the first underdrive NST pulley ever made for the xD since new and that sure has made a difference in gas mileage! Before I put on the tC rims and tires, I was averaging 37-38 going 80mph for 95% of my commute. Now averaging 35. These tires are close to being shot, so changing to a low rolling resistance tire, best / cheapest I have found are the brand new kumho KH30 ecowings. They have a 215/55/17 which will be perfect and about the same diameter as the factory 16's. I have a goal someday of getting this car to 40mpg average for my commute without having to do any crazy hypermile stuff. Still working on the ideas. The two best items so far are the NST pulley and lowering the car big time.

2008 model, purchased in September 2007. I have the OCI extended to 17,000 miles now. I add another 250 miles tonight on my way home.

Garage, I just got 205-55-16's on the rims I have (aftermarket, those were the tires on it before I had the 195-60 factory ones moved to them). I've noticed a huge difference in noise, and MPG. believe it or not. They are yokohama, and have an 80,000 mile warranty.

I bought mine on July and right now (Oct) it's 7,000 .
p.s. wanted to ask the people with the high mileage, have you encounter anything big, like engine failure.
I ask that because my 2004 Toyota Corolla S with 110,000 die without any warning.
Went to a shop/dealer and they told me engine is dead,
I need a engine job ( used or new engine ) and it's at lease $5000, so I junked it.
