We pretty much abuse the crap out of these things. I've found they're VERY difficult to find and command a premium on the used market.
Also, owning a car that is efficient doesn't necessarily mean one is a global warming lemming. I'm the biggest 'denier' you'd ever want to meet I also save $200 per vehicle per week in fuel costs versus the old vehicles we were driving. That's real money in my pocket to spend on gas-guzzling weekend fun cars.

I'm just curious, Curt, how do you put so many miles on these cars? Are they delivery vehicles or something? You would need to run them around the clock at speed to accomplish that.
Diesels are the best for high-milers, no debate.
