Things we hold get smaller. Things we fit inside get bigger.

Aren’t modern vehicles more fuel efficient though, despite being bigger? Imagine if we kept them the same size and still improved their efficiency.

Depends, many oversized SUVs here in Germany unfortunately.

Yes, but Europe also had plenty of small and efficient cars which are not exported to the US. And people love their BMW 3 Series still!
