Just remember, there is no conspiracy to keep us dependent on gasoline burning vehicles. There is no manipulation of the market to keep us dependent on inefficient cars.

None.

If there's a conspiracy, it's a conspiracy of consumers worried about image over efficiency.

Full size? It appears to have less interior space than our family Toyota Sienna minivan, which gets 27mpg highway with a peppy V-6.

So go by a Yaris, or is the tinfoil in your way?

I am under the impression that diesel fuel supplies are not sufficient to allow consumers in the United States to switch over to diesel in a big way. This apparently has something to do with refinery issues. In other words, Europe gets widescale passenger diesel, but the US cannot. Is this true?

Koreans are smaller......

[Tamar1973]

You’re just jealous! LOL!

[Red Badger]

Partially yes and no. Presently we are EXPORTING BIODIESEL TO EUROPE because there is not enough demand here. People still have a bad taste in their mouths from the GM diesel disaster of the 1980’s and are wary of anything diesel. Only the truly educated in matters diesel can see beyond the pump prices that diesel is a better way to go. Sales will be slow here at first. But diesel can be made from coal and bio resources without sacrificing food as ethanol does..........

Europeans are, too! LOL!

Some do say that.

Should American Vehicles go Diesel Just When the World is Running Short of it?

[STONEWALLS]

when am I gonna be able to get a high mpg pick up?...if Hyundai can build a 28mpg van; then why not a 28mpg mid sized truck?

[decimon]

Presently we are EXPORTING BIODIESEL TO EUROPE...

Are we in turn importing gasoline from Europe? I've read so, but...you know.

...and one more thing....truck sales to consumers are going to suck until mpg improves...right now I’m driving a F-250 with 140,000 miles on it...I’d like a new truck but I’m not a farmer, contractor, landscaper, electrician ect.....so I can’t take a new truck and fuel off my taxes as a business expense...that’s one less truck sale for Detroit.

See post #18. The figure claimed is one out of every eight gallons of gasoline used in the US is imported from Europe.
