I bet they consumed a lot of gas. Do you remember how many gallons per mile they consumed?

My 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V, which I sold eight months ago, had the optional "miles to empty" feature assured me that in its best day the car would never get better than 251 miles on a full tank of gas...the tank held 25 gallons.
