Wow, green or not, I am amazed that the Model T got more than 20 miles per gallon. That seems extremely efficient for the first mass production car ever.

- vaksel 18y agoThe key thing that kills mileage is weight. Model T has a weight of only 1200 lbs. By comparison even a tiny dedicated race car like a Lotus Elise weighs close to 2000 lbs. Hell if we go back 2 decades, the poster child of tiny cars, the Honda CRX has a weight of 2200 lbs. Even the all time tiny car, the classic mini cooper was 1400 lbs.
