i broke an all time low driving back from Erie to Louisville on Sunday, 12mpg. that 70 mph head wind really does hurt your gas mileage!

Only thing we've got to worry about in the motor side is weak valve springs.

200K miles shouldn't be a problem if your motor doesn't eat a spring.
The valve springs are not a common problem,the 3.7 uses the exact same set-up as the 4.7 V-8's and sure they get a few valve spring problems but then again all SOHC and DOHC engines do and not in big numbers.The biggest fault with the 3.7,just like the 4.7 V-8,is the timing chain tensioners need replacing around the 175,000-200,000 mile mark due to being plastic,the chain will wear into them.
