Re: Auto Manufacturers Seek to Reduce Increases in U.S. Fuel Economy Standards

Gotta wonder what are the auto makers who build here, in Japan, and the EU, doing differently there than here to get better mileage? Surely they wouldn't keep their technology away from the USA? I think that there is much more to this than we are being told....
BTW, at a car show the other day, I saw the first ever Mazda sold to an American. It is tiny, has a v2 motorcycle engine, gets 75mpg. Probably the only one of its kind in the USA, as it was many years later before Mazda started selling here.
