True, the scale isn't quite the same, but the technology is also much newer. You'd agree that fuel efficiency, much like battery efficiency, does go down, though?
To a certain extent yes. Cams get worn down, coils make less spark, that sort of thing.
But as you said, the scale is way different. It's the difference between a million miles and a hundred thousand. And at a million miles, even the chassis itself starts to become a maintenance item.
