While it is true that fuel mileage has improved over the last few
years, Ford's Corporate Average Fuel Economy for the whole fleet is
the same as it was in 1919 with the model "T" - aprox 21MPG US.

Well, you are talking "Ford". ;~)

Given that comment which is not a fair comparison, considering the amount of
work being done by current fleets to the 1919 fleet. The 1919 model fleet
probably got better gas mileage but could a 1919 vehicle pull 50,000 lbs. or
did they have AC, power steering, or an automatic transmission. Or could
they pass emission tests designed for 2009 model car?

If you want to do a fair comparison, do it with that Model T and say, the
Focus.
