This really cracked me up yesterday: I was watching The Goodbye Girl, a 1977 film, and in the film, one of the characters is describing a Subaru, saying that it gets 39 mpg hwy and 29 city! What!? Isn't it remarkable that 30 years ago, cars were getting essentially the same mpg that our Yaris gets now? You would think that in the passage of time that we would have figured out how to put together a car that gets 50+ mpg without having to resort to a hybrid engine. Unbelievable.
