Yeah, yeah,.....my 1967 Austin-Healy Sprite, with a 4-speed manual transmission and a 1300 cc engine got almost 50 miles per gallon.
And
the weight of the car was a little more than 1/3 rd of what my car weighs today, thanks to all the useless gadgets on it.
Furthermore, yes it is possible to use more fuel & produce less emissions.
Happens everyday.
Those big limos and SUV's, while consuming a lot of fuel, are still 10 times cleaner than your 1980 Mazda ever was.
