Default Freeway Mileage

Guys,
Just wondering. Lost my company car and began using my 2007 RX350 for all my sales calls. Lots of windshield time on the interstate. Are these good miles for a car? As opposed to driving in town alot? Anyway, love the car, just concerned about racking up miles too quick. Opinions?
Thanks

Highway miles are easy miles on most any vehicle as long as the RPM's are not all that high. Your RX is pretty much coasting for much of the time on the interstate barely turning 2K RPM if not pushing it.

X2, Highway miles are the second easiest thing for your car. The first being, the RX sit's parked outside of your house. lol

Sorry to disagree. First would be sitting in an air conditioned garage, under a nice comfy car cover.
