Utter and complete bilge. What are you, like 12 years old? There were
a number of compact cars available in the 1950s and 1960s capable of
delivering 20-25 miles per gallon, some of the smaller imports even higher.
I've owned some of them myself over the years.

The equivalent to that 25 mpg car in the 60s is now 40 mpg.

That full size Chevy Caprice that got 11 mpg is now getting 28 mpg and
is not stinking as much as the typical 50/60s cars.

My Sonata 2.0 Turbo will beat the older 10 mpg Cameros in the 1/4 mile
and still get 28 mpg.
