New fridges are more efficient because they use smaller motors that spin
at higher rpm, apparently.  Why that makes them more efficient, I have
no idea, but that's what the fridge installer guy told me.  Anyway, the
higher rpm makes them noisier.

I do think the energy savings can be pretty substantial.  I have a
smallish but full height household fridge and it uses 150W when the
motor is running, which is about 1/3 of the time, so 50W average.  My
mom's fridge is bigger but nowhere near twice as big, and I'm told
(haven't measured because my kill-a-watt broke) that it uses 300+ watts
when running.
