Been there, to the tune of 100 gallons a week in a 2800 pound Barracuda with a 383 at 10 MPG. As Metro said I was a Dinosaur, but in my defense gas was 32 cents a gallon and I made enough money a week to buy close to a 1000 gallons with a weeks pay. It was fun at the time, but to me at least, unthinkable today.
Unlike some, I don't follow those who write for auto rags anymore. Nothing for me to learn from them anymore. Even my 42 year old motorcycle, made when I was 20 years old can manage 55 MPG on ancient technology. Had we been collectively aware of the consequences back them we could be swimming in oil today, if you consider 55 versus 10MPG. Not saying that is practical but it certainly is much more appealing to me than driving a fuel sucking pig because some Moron who prefers living in the past, has convinced me that would be a smart move.
