I went through my muscle car phase in a 67 Barracuda 383 Formula S coupe, 100 gallons a week (10 MPG) didn't last long. Gas was 32 cents a gallon and I was making almost 14k a year (early 1970's).

I would have to drive my truck 3200 miles a week, the Fiesta 5000 miles a week and the bike 8500 miles a week to go through that much gas anymore. The 65 Honda 50 would have to do about 13,000 a week.
