True that. Including getting much better mpg than before.
But that's a life lesson that the left is NEVER SATISFIED. Neither the car makers nor anybody else should think, "Okay. If I just do what they're demanding of me now, the left will leave me alone."
Indeed, mpg gains have been astonishing. Much of that has to do with engine efficiency, and alot also to do with aerodynamics. Cool to see actual science/engieering make life demonstrably better. My old MGB used to get a predictable 21-22 mpg. Now my Dodge pickup with a 400 hp V8 does better than that. Amazing. Same with my new ride, the Vette. Like the truck, it’ll shift to a 4 cylinder mode when load conditions permit. In it, the computer claims I’m getting 30 (!!!) mpg out on the highway, and around 17 in town. And that’s with me romping on it with impunity. Very cool.
