Don't remember the exact mileage, but the body is currently sitting at 318k miles. B6 is almost unknown, around the 100k mark. Zoom Zoom didn't know whether is was 100k,or 90k. But these engines are so old, does it really matter? As long are your in the 50k ball park you can't go wrong. The engine will hit well over 200k easily and 300 thousand by keeping up with oil changes, and 400k if driven like a granny. :pLast edited by TorqueEffect; 05-27-2014, 11:34 PM.1991 Ford Festiva BP (Full Aspire/Rio Swap) (337k Miles) (Around 95k Engine)

126,800 and I think it's time for another oil change haha..Originally posted by zoom zoom View Post124,376
really rackin up the miles
Funny thing tho, I used Royal Purple 5w-30 last time, I don't know if it's that or the summer gas but I got a new BEST MPG EVER number, and another tank tied my previous best mpg ever number at 34.6. The newest best mpg ever in my auto car?
38.3 MPG!!!
Of course it was during a school week, traveling 55-70 mph for 55 miles one way (110 a day+whatever town cruising I had to do.) I got 271 miles out of a single tank with the previous record being 25x. Overall my mpgs have improved drastically, most are 31-33mpg, whereas last summer and last winter it was 28-32, usually 28 unless I took a trip somewhere.
Really wish I knew if it is the different oil helping me out or if it's the winter/summer gas difference but I didn't notice that much of a drop going to winter gas, or if something is wrong with my car!!! Drives fine lol......2008 Kia Rio- new beater

Four months later...Originally posted by fastivaca View PostOn the way home tonight...
This is actually low by about 80,000km.
Forgot to record the last reading on the cluster I pulled out so that I could put this one in. The old one had about 80,000 more than this one did. I bought this car in 2002 with 100,100km on it.

I have to wonder about the thinking behind the decision to give the km/hour tach package a "10th" digit on the odo, but not on the mph version? Huh?
