If tradition means 8 MPG with gas there at close to $4 a gallon, if not more, then you can have that tradition. Worse gas hog I ever had was a 383 Formula S Barracuda, a 67 white Coupe that got 10 MPG. I was burning 100 gallons a week, but that was before the 1973 oil embargo.

You're tossing a buck out the window for every two miles (50 cents a mile or $4/8miles). In 1968 I was tossing a penny a mile out the window (32 MPG @ 32 cents a gallon), just 2% of what your are spending today.
