I removed my Intake Manifold and Cleaned out a tremendous amount of Carbon deposits and replaced the Intake manifold gasket. Then Installed a New EGR with a Gasket. I Hope this Improves my Gas Mileage !

84k here. Bought it about two years ago with about 78k. Only major repair so far was fuel pump.
123k starting to notice her age now some, about 14mpg and stuff feeling loose and old but i still love it
38,250 at the moment, and the guesses were that it was either a 2009 or 2012 model just the other day.

Haha no I haven't really adjusted for that but I guess I probably should consider that.Wasn't really thought I ever explored. Either way you put it I'm not getting too far on a tank because it goes fast. Trip of 560 miles from Madison, WI to my father's home in Ohio, I fill up twice because the yellow fuel light is scary.Quote:

Now here's the scarey part: you get about the same mpg as I do in the 7T RV (unless I'm 'toad-ing' the VX).
185K, lifted with 35's and i get between 14-16 MPG and im not a Conservative driver as you can tell... she is a proton you just cant tell in the pic.

Currently at 312k... just replaced my first timing belt at about 299k! I think the only other major thing I've had repaired was a fuel injector. Woohoo!
WOW.....
Both on the mileage you have...and the longevity of the t.belt !!Quote:
