I believe my newest tractor dates from 1970 or so, so can't help on the new stuff. But, I can tell you this- I used to drive a 3/4 ton Ford F250 with a 390 that got close to 20 mpg if you babied it. My last 3/4 ton Ford got 12 mpg if you babied it. I had an F100 with a 6 that would get 23-25 mpg on a trip, my later Toyotas would not quite hit this mark. Over the years we've gone to smaller and smaller cars and trucks, always said to be more fuel efficient. Today my wifes vehicle gets the same 18-19 mpg, 21-24 on a trip, we've always gotten. Lots more electronics, lots fatter tires run at low pressures, A/C, sensors, etc.
I don't think we're really doing that much better on fuel.
