Yes, this is true. I remember great MPG figures for the Ford Focus in the UK and the EU. Then it was brought here with about 1/2 the MPG. The explanation was that we measure MPG different from the way they do. BULLS#!T.
So, the problem could be solved by merely raising the gas tax part of raising gas to $10/gal. It would also encourage automakers to make cars like this and people to buy them. Let's get a tax rebate for buying cars with over 60 MPG too. $10K would be a good start.

I would love to hear Mr. Obama explain all of this. But, I won't hold my breath.

If he did, he would be shot the next day.
$10 per gallon? I'd stay home and collect welfare if that were the case. It would cost me to go to work...
I won't tell Rupert if you don't.

I pay $8.30 a gallon, more or less.
