How Thirsty Is That?

4 February 2016 Redazione Roberto Marrone

Since the first car I purchased, well from the second onward, I always had a car that I wouldn’t call fuel-efficient, and have always been oppressed and hammered by the most boring and obvious question: “How thirsty is that?” Now, talkin’ about classic cars, it is normal that even mid-sized models can have higher fuel consumption than a modern equivalent and therefore also their owners will be prey to the mentioned question. But if this is a passion, the word itself justifies those few liters more. There are people who do not miss the appetizer for lunch and dinner, those who gobble crap during the entire day and those who smoke everyone around with cigars or cigarettes, not to mention the maniacs who think, scratching cards and various coupons, to change their lives. Here, with less than half of that money, you can cruise with 8 or 12 cylinders, and good ones, with no problems, except that you gain points in health and in good spirit. However, it is not the only way, you can also smoke, drink, scratch and live large, perhaps saving some money in another way: in the end it is not necessary to be rich for enjoying a good car.
