March 19, 2009 President TelePrompTer® compares Model T to SUVAt a visit to the Edison electric car factory in California, President TelePrompTer told the employees that "A Model T got better gas mileage than today's SUV". Not wanting to take a man of his stout reputation at his word alone, let's look at the specs for each. Since the Model T is a Ford, we will use the Popular Explorer for comparison: Model T: Engine: 177 Cubic Inch (1.9 Litre) in line 4 cylinder Horsepower: 20.2 BHP Top Speed: 40-45 MPH Fuel Mileage: 13-21 MPG Ford Explorer: Engine: 4.6L V8 Horsepower: 292 BHP Top Speed: ~120 MPH Fuel Mileage: 15-21 MPG So, to summarize the Explorer has a bigger engine, more power, higher top speed, not to mention more luxury and comfort than a Model T, plus all kinds of pollution controls and electronic monitoring and it gets about the SAME MILEAGE and the Model T! I suppose no one would dare challenge His Holiness on his wholesale fracturing of the facts. (I got the specs off the Ford website and various sites that promote Model T collectors.) |
