After buying a 1983 Lincoln Continental Mark IV in September, I have found that it barely gets 15 miles per gallon, and I can’t afford a gas hog like that. Then again, my husband plunked down the cash for it, so it’s paid. Insurance is paid up for a year. I just hate to have to keep putting gas in it every 3rd day or so. IT really sucks. I’m not making enough money to keep my car filled up.
