I drive a 1994 Pontiac Formula (big powerful V-8) which still gets 21-22 actual mpg on the road and 15-18 in town.
I drive about 5000-8000 miles per year. I don’t think immobilizing this beautiful powerful car and picking up a slightly higher mileage car is going to make any meaningful difference to the planet.
Absolutely! There are lots of places we can offset the fuel used by such great icons of America at its best as your Pontiac! I frequently drive by a baseball field operated by the city late at night, 10 PM and after, and several nights a week every light on the five or six fields is on, shining brightly on completely deserted baseball diamonds. There are all sorts of place we can find enough energy being wasted to trade off for the operation of great classic cars!
