“Then why did I just read a story mentioning 8% of the vehicles at a recent wholesale auction had over 300,000 miles?”

Do you know the history of those engines? Were they the original engines? Were they rebuilt, or what?

No I don’t but realistically how many cars get rebuilt engines these days?

One other bit of evidence: the average age of cars on the road has hit an ALL TIME HIGH at 10.8 years.

Cars (and engines) are lasting longer than ever.

True, maintenance does play a role as well as bum luck itself. I have nothing against biofuels in general but the feds should not be in the business of mandating anything of that sort, period. If there is a way and/or demand, the free market will decide. I think we should be eating our food and not burning it in our engines, we have plenty of oil, coal, methane, etc., here. The two big obstacles are the EPA and Jugears himself.
