This is something that the Sierra Club started a couple months ago with them ridiculing Ford on their 100th anniversary for not coming up with cars that "get better gas milage" than the Model T.
I actually wrote them back then about their claims and never got a reply back. To me, this is a good example of narrow mindedness. Not once do they take in account things like how many accessories are driven off a modern engine, the weight of a modern vehicle compared to the Model T, how far fewer pollutants are dumped into the atmosphere, etc…
They just focus on the statistics that further their cause. This seems to be an all too common thing these days. Unfortunately they get enough support from people who don’t really think outside the box. To me, if an organization can, and has the guts to, state both sides of an argument and still come up with good evidence to support their cause, that would give them more credibility.
Sorry for the rambling, but reading propaganda like that really irks me.
Just my take on things too.
