How many miles per gallon does it get?
10-15 mpg.
My 1968 Mustang (Inline-6) got about 12-13 mpg.
Gas was 24¢ or so per gallon.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The fuel tank on my 'Stang was 16 gallons. If I drove it down to the last gallon, I cold fill it up for about $3.50. That's about $31.55 in today's dollars.
But...I could only drive about 180 miles on that tank. About 17¢ a mile.
My Audi gets 22 mpg (in the city). 16 gallon tank. If I fill it with 15 gallons, it'll cost $60 (at $4/gal). I can drive 330 miles at that mpg - 18¢ a mile.

@Doctor-Phibes pretty much what I said, right?

OK, but it meant that people happily bought gas-guzzling muscle cars even though it cost as much as it does now to run them. Your comment implied it was a lot cheaper back then so nobody worried about gas.

I guess you can interpret it that way. However, my comment shows that transportation, per mile, is marginally cheaper now than it was back then.
