In past summers I've often filled both of my hotrods at least once a week. At today's prices that's another $20-$25 extra per week for each car over what I paid last year. Not like I'm poor, or going to not drive them. But I'll probably be far more conscious and thoughtful about a lot of local driving without some destination, or purpose. An extra $40-$50 per week adds up, so wont be just cruising around when I get bored.
The '39 has been very economical out on road trips averaging 17-18 mpg previously, which I love. Hopefully the increase in HP wont hurt the MPG too badly at freeway cruise speeds.
