Synopsis

The high cost of our personal transportation stems less from fuel prices than from the sheer consumption of our vehicles. Modern cars are capable of far greater efficiency. Evan McMullen, a Seattle car dealer, stumbled upon this while unexpectedly finding himself with a 1970 Opel. He discovered the vintage car achieved over ten times the fuel economy of the average new vehicle. The Dutch program *Tegenlicht* explores why the automotive industry has never embraced this technology.
