are newer furnaces more efficient?

If a boiler is being used, then flue gas is over 200 degrees. My forced air

mode. It's variable speed.

Flue temps on high-effeciency boilers run 125-135F according to what
I've read.
I don't see how that's possible, unless an extra ambient air heat exchanger
is used. I never measured a system. If incoming water is heated by another
pre exchanger with output of main exchanger, the flue gas will be closer to
incoming water temp.
