I drive a 2000 Saturn and was commenting to my wife last week about how I'm tired of hearing about all these new cars that are getting an unbelievable 26 MPG. I get 28 on my car in my stop and go traffic, and probably close to 34 on the highway. And this is in a car that is 8 years old. What happened with technology getting better over the years?
