And my grandmother used to use a scrub board to do her laundry. But then something better came along. If anyone told their wife to do the same thing that was done before washing machines he'd be sleeping on the sofa for a long time.

Just because things used to be done a certain way, doesn't mean it's better. I'll give up 2 mpg to be comfortable. Aside from which opening the windows doesn't do much for the aerodynamics.
