>and more fuel efficient

more fuel efficient is only of interest if you are talking about how much it costs to run a car. Cars are more fuel efficient now than they were in the 1970s because it costs so much more to run them.

Funny enough of course that increase in prices started in the 1970s.

Most working class people who own a car are interested in running that car and the associated costs. (It’s not likely a museum piece for them.)
