In fact there is strong evidence that the rising cost of corn which was aided by the harvesting of corn for vegetable oil led to social unrest in the Middle East…so I disagree with your claim.

I’m driving a 2001 Pontiac Grand AM GT. It has 182000plus miles on it and is expertly cared for by my local GM dealer. I get compliments from the dealer techs whom work on the car on occasion. At such high mileage, it still looks brand new and runs as smoth as ever. I was told once I’ve got the second oldest car to ever regularlly come into the dealership for maintenance and occasional repair. Apparently there’s someone with a ’94 Buick Skylark that also comes in for service…

Did you notice any difference in fuel economy when changing from the original OEM Goodyear Integrity low-rolling-resistance (LRR) tires to the non-LRR Kuhmo tires? Less expensive tires can cost you more in the long run if they’re significantly less fuel-efficient.

2002 Ford Focus. 150,000 miles + Its been down to Vegas at least 4 times now, thats 450 miles down and 450 miles back, been a fantastic car. Only have had to put a new clutch in it one time and I dont think thats too shaby for a car wsith 150,000 miles on it. I always stick to my maintnence schedule as much as I can, beside the cluthch, only other major think I had to replace was the thermostat thing under the hood, I was driving up a hill and my temperature gauge went to hot way too quickly and I started to see steam coming from under my hood. Other than than been a very good car, Dont believe one second about what people say about the letters FORD–Found on Road Dead, my car’s still living……

2001 Honda Civic – 270,000 miles. Rear brakes and clutch changed around 250,000 miles. Still looks nice (rust free). Only major issue – windshield has never broken but it is pitted terribly after all those miles. Waiting for a rock to hit it! Oh, by the way, this car replaced my 1989 Honda Civic with 275,000 miles on it!

I drive a 2000 Mercedes E320 with 186,000 miles. It is in perfect condition, drives well and gets very good gas mileage. I must admit that the car has alwsays been serviced when required (A&B service). I would not think of giving it up.

I just went over 70,000 on my Prius (2007). I got a lifetime oil change Maintenance and 100,000 Khumo tires. I regularly get over 42-45 mpg. Now that it is paid for, I just put gas in it. I bought it with leather seats lat look as good as when it was new. So, I guess I’ll just keep it.
