A gallon of oil was on the weekly supermarket shopping list. The car had very little rust underneath though.

I had a Ford Cortina Estate long ago. It would drive perfectly for 60 miles on the motorway and then would suddenly burn a huge amount of oil and fill the road behind with thick blue smoke for about 1/4mile. It would then clear again and carry on as if nothing had happened for the rest of the journey
