This is the second Mercury Villager that I've put 100,000 miles on (as it sits here on the road home from Prescott, the odometer says 100,000. I always stop and do a photo shoot of my cars at the moment they reach 100,000 miles). This one, however, is still in such good shape that I'm going to see if I can make it to 200,000! :)

Here are the statistics for my van for 100,000 miles:
Total Gallons of Gas Used: 5,335.18
Average Miles Per Gallon: 18.7435
Total Cost of Gas: $11,552.92
Average Cost per Gallon of Gas: $2.165
Gas Cost Per Mile: $0.115

Yes. This means that I've kept a record of every single dollar and gallon of gas I put into my car. For 100,000 miles I've meticulously recorded each and every time I put gas in my car. Crazy, but it's true.
