I'd bet if you include trucks the american cars would kick ass in mileage. People run pick up trucks forever.
My dad traded in his 92 full size Chevy (V-6) with 289,000 (or more that was the last time I borrowed it) and it still ran great, still looked ok cause they repainted under warranty in 97. He had a 5 year warranty on the body cause they messed up and drilled throught the roof putting in the doom light. Then they had a paint recall he waited till his warranty was just about up. The door hinges were pretty worn out though.
He repaced it with a V-8 Chevy full size. I bet it will last a good 10 years or more.
