Maybe I'm a slightly more aggressive driver than most, but 130 HP is
not pleasant, especially in city rush hour stop-and-go traffic. I find
it so unpleasant that I don't even drive the Delorean at certain times
of the day.

Considering that the Delorean really has neither of these (what is
it, 18mpg?) I think you may be making a mistake. I doubt that your
old TransAm got much worse mileage than the Delorean.
