Obama Insists Cars Improve Fuel Efficiency by 40%

Europeans live on much less of almost every material thing than Americans. Their countries are the size of our states. They drive short distances and their auto companies did not buy up and shutdown their public transportation. They have stick shift diesel cars that get 40 mpg. They walk and bicycle a lot which makes them healthier so they save a lot on medical care and get less of it because they have a government run health system. They live in cooler smaller houses and take better care of what they have, most of which is not disposable. Their auto unions are by and large not a group which makes substantially more than the public who buys their cars. But their socialist governments add enough taxes to make them more expensive than our cars. They save more of what they earn so thay can afford their higher prices when they NEED something.

It is very difficult to compare anything European to us.
