Default Mileage check. Come on in!

Many years ago I did a thread on what everybody's mileage was. The cars have now aged at least five years since I did that thread or longer. It's time for a current mileage check in thread to see what the ever aging SC average mileage is. We will make an average from everyone's posts. Since its discontinuation the car has now been out of production for14 years. Most sc's are really getting up there, and of course with maintenence, still running strong.

Since this is about the overall cars total mileage we are not concerned with the engine or Trans being replaced.

Post your mileage below. Feel free to add any details about your car you wish (year, configuration) , but not necessary.

Ive checked my last three tanks because of having TPS troubles 158,000 miles on my 93 sc400 23 mpg combined city and hwy. OOPS guess this wasnt about fuel mileage.

1998 SC400 - 173k miles

Cluster dies out for a bit when it gets too hot.
Transmission is in good condition.
Recently cleaned out the Oil Control Valve and changed spark plugs due to Bank 1b causing misfire (CODE P1349)
Regular interior maintenance with exterior maintenance.
