What they mean is that the Model T was more fuel economic than today's SUVs. It's hilarious though, to see Chrysler all in a lather over the suggestion that their fleet of brand new shiny gas guzzlers are less fuel economic than a car built almost a hundred years ago. :lol:

Considering that the Model T got between 13 and 21 mpg, I'd say that the observation that the fuel economy of today's SUVs is as bad or even worse than the Model T's is entirely accurate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Model_T
