'99 Cavalier with 147,000. 65ism miles a day round trip. I no long deliver pizza on the weekends, so that is nice. fill up once every 4-5 days.

'99 Amigo with 108,000 miles. I bought it in June of last year with 98,000 miles and have only put 1,000 miles on it since November of last year. I delivered pizza with that truck and it was the daily driver doing the 65ish miles a day till we got the Cavalier in November. Put a lot of miles on it quick. I was getting gas every 3-4 days and it was REALLY expensive.

180,000 on my '95 Celica. I got it @ 122,000 though about June, 2006. I'd be very surprised if it makes it another 25k though.

Back then all I had as a daily commuter was my '99 Ram 1500 and gas prices were going up. Paid $2k for it and what I saved in gas money it paid for itself in 10 months.
