Agreed, at least not in comparison to recent technology, although there is one or two frequent commenters here who insist that old technology was better.

Actually a lot were. Prior to all the “gadgets” which come on cars, an engine had to do far less work. No heavy weight of AWD or 4WD. No automatic transmission. Usually didn’t even have AC in those days. Less stuff under the hood, less insulation for sound proofing, etc. Kinda similar reasons that a bare-bones lightweight Geo Metro got the best gas mileage in history for several decades.
