Frank, I think you are about right - the average car in the US today gets about the same MPG as the Model T.

I hope you folks get to watch the program - the thing that Henry Ford got right I think, is that the Model T was improved as needed, and they avoided planned obsolescence. We have Alfred P. Sloan (of GM) to thank for that...
