Granted my experience is limited but still - it looks to me that in 30 years we haven't gained much except weight.

Well, I never said it was impressive, just reporting the news.
Also, keep in mind this is for all cars and trucks sold (although it's not clear if it includes commercial vehicles or not). My dad had a 1985 Chevy K30 6+6. It was a 4-door, duelly, 4WD (6WD?) with a 350 and an auto. It typically got 9mpg or less...
