I agree that modern gas engines are complex but they have a huge track record of success. You can easily hit 250,000 miles on a new car with basic maintenance. At 50mph average speed that is 5000 hours. I have 2 Chevy 2.4 liter ecotec 4 cylinder engines. One has 170,000 miles the other 130,000 miles. The engines have needed nothing but basic maintenance.
