    I’ve been listening to the podcast for a couple of weeks, and I really enjoy the show. I was going to comment on the car story you told (’cause I’m a car guy). You are right, many older models do indeed get great, if not better fuel economy. However one thing that does effect fuel economy is mass. With so many safety items and reinforcements to meet regulations, cars are becoming heavier. Thereby affecting efficiency. Another item is ethanol. Ethanol is cheaper, but less efficient. So people should take into account that when filling up on “newer fuels” the MPGs may decrease from the added ethanol in the blend. Just some FYI…

    RS2,

    Thanks for listening and commenting. You’re right, cars do have more mass but horsepower has also increased. This should more than make up for the increased mass without being detrimental to fuel economy, IMO. Again, thanks for commenting and listening.

    John
