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.

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

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?

The 28 mpg score in the headline is on a different test, and cannot be directly compared to the US EPA test.

Comparing models that are sold in the same configuration here and in the UK, and have gone through both government games:

Santa Fe 2.7 V6 AWD, 26.6 mpg (imperial) on the UK test. 22.2 mpg using US gallons. US EPA says 19mpg. UK rating is 17% higher.

Tuscan 2.7 V6 AWD, 28.8 mpg (imperial) on the UK test. 24.0 mpg using US gallons. EPA test says 19mpg. UK rating is 26% higher.

So do the math and it’s likely this “33.2 mpg” vehicle would be rated 22-23 mpg under the US test.
