That seems to be a huge amount in fuel, until I realise that old cars had

Less gears
No lockup
Carbies
No fuel cut
Fixed cam timing
Poor torque characteristics
Poor combustion characteristics
Less compression
Horrible horrible engine airflow
Constantly driven fans
Etc. etc. etc.


All of these things are being fixed now...
