If you’re driving a classic car in the middle of a gas crisis, you kinda deserve it, imo. Those things are about the only thing more inefficient than a jacked up pavement princess.
Edit: learned that “classic” has a much broader definition than I thought. Oops.
I drive a car thati bought used over a decade ago. It’s cost effective, paid for and not a gas guzzler. Fuck me though cause I own an old car. One with rubber gas lines.
I was specifically responding to op complaining about affecting classic cars. It sucks that your slightly older car might be affected by this, but don’t jump into the shade and pretend I threw it at you.
“Classic car” isn’t just some vibe. It’s literally a legal term for cars of a certain age. Depending on the country it refers to >15, >20 or >25 years old cars. That means you can have a relatively fuel efficient car that is considered a classic car.
The first Toyota Prius came out 1997 (29 years ago) and would be considered a classic car today.
Well, I guess that’s what I get for not being a car guy lol. I had no clue that the cutoff was so recent, I thought “classic” was for cars from the last century. TIL.

Did I say “fuck people with slightly older cars”?

Just so we’re clear, “the last century“ was 26 years ago…
In my experience, “classic” is over 20, “antique” is over 25.
I’m actually driving my 1971 MGB around these days because I get 55MPG since it has 75ish horsepower and weighs about 2000lbs total lol
That sounds like a fun time lol. I was more envisioning the old school 10 mpg boats from the 70s and 80s.
