A lot of very specialised vehicles here. But they often do things no (or very few) other vehicles could do. What ‘normal’ vehicle is the worst fuel hog?

What about vintage cars built in the days when no one but weenies cared about milage? A classic car with the original engine might have a milage in the single digits.
Too aquatic for the roads of North America.
Unless it was on a trrailer. Hmm…
A “Blower” Bentley gets about two miles per gallon at top speed with the supercharger going.
The Chrysler Turbine got 13 MPG—that’s damn near “green.”
Jay Leno has a turbine powered cycle that gets 4 mpg.
The Dodge Tomahawk has a V10 engine that’s supposed to get 14 mpg, though it has a theoretical top speed of 400mph, at which imagine the fuel economy would start to suffer. (Assuming it didn’t blow up or crash before then. Which I’m pretty sure it would.)
For the purposes of this thread, the vehicle should be street legal in the US.
Big rigs semm to be 5.7 - 7.2 miles per gallon range according to this http://www.bigrigowner.com/articles/0605hpd.html
Fire Trucks seem to have had a similar range of 4-10 mpg.
Or Canada or Mexico.
