Nope, no extra zero. Approximately 360,000 miles between two vehicles (might have been more, I think I hit 200K on one of them). Figured 7,000 gallons used at 50mpg compared to a potential 12,000 gals at 30mpg.

I drove a lot in those years.

They make great commuter cars. My two saved me at least 5,000 gallons of gas. Add to that the savings in purchase price, maintenance, and insurance and it starts looking like real money.

Kind of like an 80+ mph golf cart with much better climate control and no leaks during rain.
I did not know they went that fast, was that downhill? I just would not own anything that has the Toyota name. I will stick with my F350.

No, dropped out of an airplane at 30,000 feet
