Me too, and on 10W30, straight 30, and 20W50 too. Carburetors and fuel dilution were big contributors to their demise.

I would add bad motor oil & metallurgy to the mix-I almost never see the rubbery sludge buildup of wasted VIIs that seemed to be so common in engines "back in the day", even on well maintained vehicles. 100K used to be a miracle, now an engine is junk if it doesn't get there.
