Hmm... You are worrying about the gas consumption with a Shelby?
Bought a GT350, then a Camry
2
To keep the mileage low, I needed a daily driver.
Originally, I planned to drive the GT350 2 days a week and the 4Runner off-roader 3 days a week. Did the math and determined that a fuel efficient pre-owned daily driver can pay for itself in 3 years when compared to the mixed MPG of my 4Runner and Shelby AND annual tire costs for both of those vehicles. Plus, I was able to put the Shelby on collector car insurance (and isolate it from my driving age sons).
Was surprised to learn that a Toyota Camry just off of a lease sells for cheap...as in half the price of its original MSRP.
Why the 4Runner gets 11 mpg: it's a V8 for starters, then add on bumpers, winch, roof rack, and 33" off-road tires and it quickly becomes a gas hog.
