Dragsters have nitro. Heavy-duty trucks have diesel. Your Uncle Jim has 80-proof vodka in single-serving plastic bottles but, hey, let’s not talk about that. Point is: We all need fuel.

Upgrade. These 11 oz. ceramic retro car mugs from Needs & Wants should do the trick. Each has a hand-printed pop art graphic wrapping around the outside, a handsome coat of British Racing Green inside. There’s a fine selection of Fifties rides, race and road, from a Riley RM saloon to a Talbot-Lago and Maserati A6 monoposto Grand Prix car. Good. And at $13 a pop, you can afford to start a collection.
