to achieve 100k miles a year its obviously highway, highway miles are a lot less wearing on tires since there is a lack of braking per mile.

Hahah, he should install a Cash Cab style headliner and turn it on every time he hits a new milestone.

Under that kind of driving conditions, I agree it's very possible.

Good for toyota relibility. If my company was paying for my gas, I would get a larger car. Screw fuel economy? Rather sit comfortably for 12 hours.

I think he needs to get a new career and adopt a healthier lifestyle.

Driving that amount of time on the freeway would have shredded his clear bra. For long distance trips, especially on roads with variable conditions, the ugly leather bra protects better.

Taxis and airport-vans often go 100K or more a year, but, yes, it is quite unusual for a private daily-driver.

Yes, because one must be careful to jealously protect the residual value of a Yaris with 350,000+ miles on it.
