I had my black Jag for 17 years, gas guzzler, premium gas only. In 2009, it just wasn’t going to go anymore, so away went my beautiful car for a plastic box car, Hyundai Elantra - very good gas mileage, but ugly just like all cars today, a box.

2300 curb weight on the '70 240Z. Not nearly as much horse power, but it will do 140mph without a problem.

It gets 12 mpg. Period. Doesn't matter how you drive it, it eats gas. So, I pretty much drove it as though I were an immortal.
