Instead of our government mandating that car manufacturers 'increase their mileage,' should our government mandate that they offer the same cars here as they do in Europe?
The base model Ford Focus gets 37 MPG in the US, which is pretty decent mileage. But it gets 59 MPG in Europe which is 60% better gas mileage. Comparing nine models side-by-side, European models get 50% better mileage in town and 61% highway.
