Ha! I had an Accord for a short while long ago. Its one of those cars I often forget to list when naming off my former cars. It had 235k on it. Manual, my first. Was heading out of town on a winter day and the car started to slow down. Mile by mile on the highway it got a little slower. Then I realized I had my foot full down while going up a slight grade and I was still slowing! I took the first exit with station. On a whim I put some oil in and everything was fine again! I was OUT of oil and the dang thing just kept on going. After that I checked the oil often. No clue where it was going. Coolant looked okay, never dripped and exhaust was clean. But when driving it must have been pouring out somewhere.
