A gross polluter versus having [potentially] owned 4-5 other cars over the same period? Must be new to this. I think someone needs to look into embedded costs. A car like that could easily have been tuned to meet 1979 standards. By definition, that would not be "gross", and, as above, she obviously drove in an economical manner. Something else lost on those new to driving for economy. Her overall cost, as well as the indirect cost to society, makes this a case of having been highly economical as well as low polluting.
