Your point appeared to be that my A/F comment was incorrect, and that newer engines were significantly more fuel efficient.

I continue to contend that since fuel injection & electronic engine managemnt, the gains have been miniscule. Yes, they can make more power from smaller engines, but we are not talking about power/displacement, we are talking about MPG! There is no magic pill they have found that changes the optimal A/F ratio or extracts significantly more HP/unit of fuel.
My recomendation that he find the smallest displacement NA engine AWD car is still accurate, or are you contesting that?
So what was your point if that was not it, and what evidence do you have for significant increases in gas millage since the introductions I referenced?
