    ...Am still driving about 250 miles per day delivering new cell phones for a large national company. Recently turned 470,000 miles. Still have original brake pads. Car has been perfectly flawless.....no oil burning or leaks, large battery still seems to work as new, no issues.....amazing. Lifetime MPG is down very slightly, to 80.21. I still use Mobil 1, OW-16 and Toyota filter. Always use OEM Bridgestone tires. Buy 3 get one free from the dealer. Last set went 145,000 miles and still has 3/32 remaining. Just recently got 4 new ones. I am a trained, experienced hypermiler from the Gen 1 Honda Insight days. The efficient driving techniques are habitual, as I drive 7 days per week. This car is amazing! My only significant complaint is small usable fuel capacity. After topping off tank the range only says about 810 miles. (higher in warm weather months).......

    That is astounding. 250 miles a day sounds punishing though. Retirement in the cards?
