Not many. 90 or so thousand in a 2014.
I am really impressed on the mileage. I thought I had high millage at 165k. Anywho i am interested in the mesh you put to protect the a/c fins. Do you have any pictures?2012 coupe 240k
Could have been 300k already, due to some experimentation, bought a 2010 prius for gas mileage, used the prius for 60k. Prius did not make me happy as it uses oil, savings on gas negated to buy adding oil. Good thing craigslist posting of my civic was I guess too high, trying to sell at least $4k, kbb value, but 217k miles kept people from being interested. One tried to haggle to $2500, i declined offer. Prius been sold a year now, and been so happy to return to driving my civic.
Still kicking well. Does not burn or use oil. Started doing my oil change 160,000 miles, and have not seen the dealer since, 3 years.
Modifications:
1. DRL swapped wired to battery LED Fog lights used as DRL.
2. Steel mesh from home depot screwed on bumper in front of A/C condenser to preserve condenser fins from stones.
3. 17 inch wheel
4. LED headlights
5. LED cabin lights
All original except 2 front wheel bearing, and 1 rear caliper replaced. 1 bearing was still good, but I don’t know which one was shot. Thinking i am already commited to my DIY project, and rented tools already, i decided to change both wheel bearing and rusted rotors. Of course some bulbs and spark plugs are replaced. Replaced leaking rear shocks, scheduled to work on front struts this summer. But struts seems still good.
You can get the mesh at Home Depot, cut to fit, then zip tie it in. Roadcourse did a DIY in that section. I've done it on my car. Nothing to it.I am really impressed on the mileage.

That's pretty good mileage on any kind of tire..I'm at just over 84,000 on my 2015 EX-L. Just replaced the original Michelin MXM4s at 83,600 miles. The tread was just getting to the wear indicators. Not shabby for a tire only designed for 55,000! Trying out a set of Kumho Ecstas (sp?) But if these don't hold up, going back to the MXM4s.
~48,000 miles. Still loving mine too.Currently at 39,048 and still loving the car

I had the Ecstas on my Accord after the Michelin MXV4s. I was quite pleased that they handled and rode as well as the Michelins, if i dropped the pressure a couple of pounds. They didn't last very long though. I think it was about 30k miles.I'm at just over 84,000 on my 2015 EX-L. Just replaced the original Michelin MXM4s at 83,600 miles.
