Sorry to say it, but I would sell that for something more economical if economy is your goal.

If you have warm fuzzy memories of the vehicle, that's another thing. Then you give it a good wash and wax, a thorough tuneup, tire balance and alignment, and drive it for the rest of its or your natural life.

I had a car from my grandmother whom I loved dearly. But I didn't have much memory of the car, so when it turned out the thing had been perforated to death by 20 years of Minnesota winters (even the driveshaft was cracked by corrosion), I didn't regret getting rid of it. You may be in the same place.
