I agree with what glatt posted. Cars also have a lot more safety features, like air bags, ABS, side impact protection, CHMSLs, etc., which add weight. And cars have a lot more power than they did 20 years ago.

My car weighs 1860 pounds and has a 1-liter engine. I think these things are more important than the fact that it's a hybrid in determining fuel economy.
