I must admit to considerable curiosity as to how far we have come. What would be the expected mileage from a current car of similar weight and horsepower?
The motorized rickshaw that MB calls the Smartcar is EPA rated @ 37 MPG. I recall the Mobil Economy runs of the 1950's reporting much more for Ramblers, Stude Champs, Ford Falcons etc. My Granddad sold Panhard Dynas in the late 50's and he swore that 50 MPG was not unusual.
A new BMW 7 Series is rated @ 14/20
