Not necessarially less engineering know-how. Perhaps just less engineering *effort*. They didn't put much work into making cars more fuel-efficent 'cause it wasn't worth trying when gas was 25 cents a gallon.

Although I am sure that they would not have been able to achieve what can be done now even if they *had* tried.
