That's pretty good. Mine has 100k less than yours, but it's the same...runs perfect. I don't putt around either, I lay on it when I feel the need just like every other car I've owned. All my specs are the same as yours except I only get 18.8 avg in the city. If I had the CAGS enabled it'd likely be a good bit better, but I tend to rip on it in town.
It's a 92 thang....haha.

Most of my cars have gotten over 200,000 miles.
1. 86 Chev Camaro (V6) - Purchased with 100,000. Sold for same price at 245,000 miles. Minimum work to engine. Engine still ran strong. Transmission another story.
2. '90 Isuzu Trooper - Drove until 242,000 with minimum work (even the heads lasted).
3. '91 Jeep Cherokee (in line 6)- Purchased with 183,000 and dove it to 245,000. then sold it. Engine and transmission were still strong.
4. Still have a 99 Chrysler minivan - bought with 20,000 and now has almost 190,000. Minimum engine work,....still runs strong.

I was shocked to see the original cross hatch marks in the cylinder and no cylinder ridge.....at 135,000. miles. My engine always ran synthetic and changed religiously at 3500 mile intervals. All other surfaces in the engine showed very minimum wear. Modern engines can last a long long time with proper care. I just junked a 1996 honda accord with 365,000 miles on it. It was burning about one quart every 1,000 miles. I beat the living snot outta that car. I junked it because the body rotted away. Drove it to the junk yard. No knocks or smoking!!
