2007 TCH
My V6XLE had 135K on it and ran great ...even after I crumpled the hood in a minor accident...it still had trade in value so after 14 years of use I got my TCH in NOV 2006. Love it and have over 10K on it with average combined mileage above 35 MPG (per dashboard display). Found these forums recently and am working toward a probably elusive 700 mile tank.

The 700 mile tank is not as elusive as you may think it is. I thought the same too last year when I got my TCH (Sep. 13, 2006). I started off with about 35mpg and now I average above 40mpg regularly (often going as fast as 100mph on some trips). Just try hitting the mark even if it means doing it for once (make sure your display says at least 44.5 mpg and you'll be fine).
I traded in a 2001 Hyundai XG 300 (Hyundai's BMW 3 series, lol!).
