I've seen the one Eli mentioned at 515K, there was one other that posted right when he rolled over at 500K about a year or so ago. To my knowledge those are the only 2 over 500K at least that have been mentioned on the forum in the last year and a half. I'm still only at 262K, 300K will be my next big roll over event.

Nice, the motor is finally broken in. Funny thing I was at the junk yard couple days ago and happened to see an insight motor still sitting there, the guy told me he's had the motor about 6 years now and no one has bought it yet, he said these motors last forever no one has ever needed to replace it just battery.

Like Kenpo indicated, just broken in. From your sig I find it interesting that the one with 450,000 miles has the best tank MPG of your three.

Just got lucky and/or have improved my driving technique. The best tank with #1 was in 2010. Best tank with #2 was 2011... best tank with #3 was in 2012, but was winter time so it's not really comparable to the others, which were in summer. I hope to improve it significantly.

Congrats Eli! I find it heartening that our motors are up to the task of hauling our little jelly beans around for half a million miles
