Description
2004 Toyota Matrix xr 5 speed with 242,490 miles and counting. This car is a well oiled machine. Still Drives like it did with 60k and getting better mileage (since I found out about gassavers). This car has been used to deliver emergency blood around connecticut since I bought it in 2004. My goal in the next few months will be 50 mpg combined with no CRAZY mods (i.e. ignition kill switch). 99% of my driving is on the highway so my mpg numbers are mostly highway.
