From the Green car link.

And those aren’t the same as U.S. gallons: They’re 20 percent larger, containing 5 quarts rather than the 4 quarts in a U.S. Gallon.

In other words, that “80-mpg” European car is doing nearer 67 mpg—and it doesn’t achieve anything near that in real life, because testing procedures are so far from reality.

This kind of crap is why we need a government ‘office of fairness’. To protect us from non American BS!

And yes they would need a fully equipped SWAT team, and tactical nuclear devices. And full access to everyone’s phone and computer...
