There is a huge difference between vehicles today and vehicles in the late 1800’s, when people first started driving gasoline powered cars.

Today people drive electric cars that are better for the environment and doesn’t burn fossil fuels and pollute the atmosphere. Not to mention today the cars that do run on gas get approximately 20-30 miles to the gallon, but when gas powered cars were first invented probably got around 5 mpg. In the late 1800’s people had just invented gasoline fueled cars that burned lots of gas.

Another huge difference is the vehicle’s top speeds. The average modern car can reach around one hundred mph and there are many cars that can go even faster. The fastest car in the world is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport. It can reach almost 300 mph. Compared to 1800’s cars which probably couldn’t top 30 mph.

There are many huge differences between cars drove in the past and the cars of today. Mileage and speed are just two of the biggest.
