The reason some older cars get better mieage than new ones is a combination of pollution controls and weight(air bags, side impact bracing, etc.). I have a '69 ford 3/4 ton pickup with a 460 and an automatic no overdrive, gets 9 mpg. Father in law has a 2008 3/4 ton ford with a v10 and automatic overdrive.(V10 is not as big as my v8) he gets 9 mpg with overdrive.
