Ford has a car that will get 65 mpg available right now.

Thing is, it's Diesel, it's only 88 hp, 1.6 liter engine, and...
It's only available in Europe and Great Britain.

Incidentally, this is one of the reasons Ford didn't need a bailout, these Ford ECOno Fiesta cars are selling like hotcakes in europe.

But Ford doesn't think they will sell in the U.S., cause of the low horsepower and the diesel engine, so we don't get the option to buy a car that can get 65 mpg.

It's not the technology, it's the economics.
