That is a big win for the much larger, safer, and more luxurious 2021 Civic. The 1980 one was tiny and not something you wanted to be in in a crash.

Also, the EPA ratings have changed between now and then getting stricter and closer to actual mileage. That 1980 vehicle would get much lower mileage ratings now than it did then.

It's also probably a huge win on the pollution front as well. Emissions controls are much tighter now.

What MPG does a 2021 sedan vehicle that compares in weight and frontal area to a 1980 civic get?
