If anything they are going backwards. Cars are getting heavier and getting lower gas mileage every year, have been since the late eighties. That trend may finally reverse now, but only slowly and painfully.

I hope so. Another gas-robber in newer cars is the heater core that is hot all the time. So not only is gas wasted heating up the dashboard, even more gas is wasted when you have to run the AC to offset the heater core. I know there are vents and flaps to control the airflow, but the dash still heats up. All this just so you can have "automatic climate control".
