You can purchase a 70+ MPG VW in Europe (engine manufactured in the USA) but cannot purchase it in the USA.
Why, EPA! Our government once again working against us.
Oh, it must be dirty you say!
Well if you believe the Stasi at the EPA you would be right but like Paul Harvey used to say “and now the rest of the story”
Per gallon, this engine does produce marginally more emissions yet once you factor in how many miles can be driven on the same gallon of fuel SHAZZZZZZAM this engine produces much less pollution and therefore for the life of the car it will produce much less pollution.
But the real agenda is not low pollution it is to cripple our economy and get people out of their private cars and on to public transportation regardless of the human debris you will be forced to stand with.
This is why I want, with every fiber in my body to see thousands of government slugs in handcuffs being perp marched to prison. People who can abuse the power of government against us should not live free.
It is very well known that EU mpg measurements are far more unrealistic than American standards.
And Europeans are used to size and performance that would be unacceptable to mainstream US buyers.
