New braking compounds can help an older car stop faster as well. I see the OP point in making this post that there have been only slight improvements. Many members here drive a Metro what if they kept revising the 3cyl metro trying to keep with its original function fuel economy. Sure they make some great new cars that get moderate gains in mpg's but in my opinion it is not enough to offset the cost to putrchase a new one.
Finally we are starting to see high 30's even 40 in new cars but it should have been here 10 years ago, just too slow in making improvements.
