Topping the list of cars with the worst gas mileage, the 2011 Bugatti Veyron gets 8 mpg in the city and 15 mpg on the highway. With a top speed of 267 mph, one suspects that fuel economy is not a top priority for owners of this ferocious two-seater. Joffet Emanuel/SIPA/Newscom/File
The dramatically-designed 2010 Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon gets 12 mpg in the city and 18 mpg on the highway. It's hard to imagine gumming up the back seat of this slick station wagon with Cheerios and toys, but perhaps luxury babies are neater. General Motors/Newscom/File
This 2008 H3 Hummer personifies the gas guzzler for many people, but owners swear by them. At 14 mpg city and 15 mpg highway, they are surprisingly more fuel-efficient than the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Newscom/File
Known as a "land yacht," the 1970s-era Cadillac Eldorado was a thirsty whale, slurping an average of 10 to 12 mpg. This one, worth $70,000, was on display at the Moskva car centre on Kashirsky motorway in Moscow in 2006. Saverkin Alexsander/Itar-Tass Photo/Newscom/File

The fin-tastic Ford Thunderbird got 8 to 10 mpg in the city and 12 to 14 mpg on the highway. Noel Blanc, son of the late Mel Blanc, poses with his 1957 Thunderbird in Beverly Hills, Calif., in 1997. Nick Ut/AP/File
Getting 10 to 17 mpg, the Buick Roadmaster didn't win any prizes for fuel efficiency. Singer Jon Secada, a celebrity judge, poses in front of a 1950 Buick Roadmaster at the Boca Raton Resort Hosts Concours d' Elegance event in Boca Raton, Fla., on Feb. 27. ZUMA/Newscom

In 2009, when this photo was taken, consumer interest in the government's 'cash for clunkers' program to get gas guzzlers off the road had started to wane. It's a good bet that the idea for the program could pick up again, what, with the spike in gas prices. Newscom/File

To cut waits and hoarding, New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New Jersey's Governor have announced rationing plans. Only one quarter of New York City's gas stations are open, according to Bloomberg. He calls the rationing plan 'practical and enforceable.'
With long gas lines persisting more than a week after Superstorm Sandy, New York imposed a gasoline rationing plan Thursday that lets motorists fill up every other day.
