I blame safety standards. It is a catch-22. Cars are getting heavier because of extra safety standards because there are heavier cars on the market than before.

Oh, if you want to talk about progress, a 2013 V6 Mustang gets more HP (305 peak HP vs 300) and better fuel economy (22 combined vs 18) than my 2005 V8 Mustang.
