Reply #87: Europeans don't buy gas guzzlers [View All]

Their cars are far more efficient than our cars. In Italy in particular. Just a few years ago they changed the gas to make it even more efficient so the govt. had to buy back all of the older cars unless people changed the engines to be able to use the new gas which would have been very expensive. 2 years ago I was there and rented a 6-cylinder Passat and got almost 50mpg. Not even a hybrid.
So where you get the gas guzzler idea I have no idea.
Not only that but most cars are tiny so they can navigate the tiny and narrow streets. I have been to Europe 12 times and have seen a pick-up truck exactly one time. That was in Romania in a very rural area where I am sure the owner needed it.
