Back in the days of the T-Model, engines were small, like cars. The vehicles were relatively light, and the distances people traveled were not so great, so gas mileage was good, about 21 mp (Mpg).
Over time, cars became larger, faster and heavier, and efficiency fell sharply, and SUVs and large trucks became leaders among high-consumption models.
The 1973 oil embargo was then introduced and Congress began to set higher standards for the industry.
With the signing of the Paris Agreement and rising oil prices every year, the requirements for fuel efficiency for automakers are increasing, and today we have huge demands on what we can expect from our ordinary car.
