Smells like political BS to me, like something coming out of Limbaugh's mouth, (all bias).
Besides , if the engineers at chrysler are so talented, why has chrysler bankrupted twice, and still builds cars inferior to the germans?
and that goes for GM and Ford also.

price per fuel liter versus liter per kilometer

the common european idea about America regarding cars has always been 20 liters per 100km, when it is common in Europe to have cars drinking 5 liters per 100km

I know this is not always true, so US people don't take it as an offence lol, but how true is it? US has always had easy fuel compared to Europe, and it's still in the mentalities, so it might be nice discussing it... what's your opinion?

Well, fuel (gasoline and diesel) both cost around $8 per gallon in the UK, so that's what most people think about first when looking for a new car...

**shrad** · 12-01-2009, 03:10

that's even worse than here, in Belgium it is around 1.2€ per liter

well, no, I didnt say that, but arnt those taxes going to paying for your health care? if so figure health care costs $500-1000/month here... and I go through ~30 gallons of gas/month at $2.80 thats $84 in gas... vs @ $8/gal thats $240... a difference of $156... dosent seem that bad

anyway you guys have bigger problems than the price of gas
