When they've already dumped six-figures for luxury leather, and $400 basic maintenance service (IIRC, the DB5 uses 12 quarts of synthetic oil), quarterly, I can assure you they don't give a shit about gas mileage.

Don't be so sure. But anyways, it isn't about gas mileage, it is about not driving a 250,000 car into a city. They get to show they are Aston owners without risking some reject hitting their car with a honda civic, or some other piece of junk.

I'm not sure that that logic works.. as they still risk some "reject" hitting their over-the-top-expensive Aston Martin/iQ, right?

It's still their fancy smug-mobile getting dinged by some common man's econobox...
