222,222 and still climbing

[svx_commuter]

The Baby-X went past 222,222 miles yesterday and keeps on rolling.

Oh I just can't let it sit for too long, it's just too much fun to drive.

Hooray! That's awesome.

So, what kinda gas mileage have you been getting of late on your 222,222 mile engine?

As one who drives his SVX daily and intends to wring-out as much utility from the car as practical in the coming years, I'm encouraged by posts such as yours.

Agreed. I've put almost 6k on my car since July, and my commute is 4 miles a day Me likey drivey! I still feel aprehensive about crossing the 100k mark though....

Gas mileage eh?
10-18 was 26.2
10-26 was 24.4
10-22 was 25
10-19 was 25.6
10-18 was 22.1 What happened? My son was driving the X for the first time since he got his license. He says Dad your car is SICK. HaHa Ha ha.
10-14 was 23.9
10-12 was 23.2
10-07 was 24.4
10-05 was 23.2

The stop n go on the highway is a killer. Seems I can't get to or from work without a good 20 minutes of that. If I get a good ride it's around 26 to 27 but that's if I don't go to fast. Starting from a stop slowly is good for getting a 23 up to a 25.

That's awesome gas mileage for an SVX - yet alone a 200K+ miles car! With my 4.11 gears, I'm getting about 22 mpg in mixed city & highway, and a tad over 25mpg in all highway driving.
