And so…appallingly inefficient.
Speaking of appallingly inefficient, I harbor a dream of taking an old piece of iron like that someday, and figuring out some way to transplant moderninity into it. Such that it's got decent horsepower and a modicum of fuel economy. I'd be happy with 18 vs. 8.

The sound of 8mpg.
You can almost smell the unburned hydrocarbons.
I had a '77 Scout – a beast of a vehicle – that I was waiting for the day when I could put a fuel cell into it…
Then I had kids, and we needed the garage space for stuff…sniff I sure miss Otis – and when the tech is really there, I'll do it!
It's for the best. It would have rusted away by now.
