VW and Ford makes Cars that get 75 MPG - U.S. government won't allow the sales of them in U.S.

For a long time I have known that car manufacturers could make more efficient vehicles but do not due to the oil companies. I did not realize it was actually the U.S. government that has stopped the better engines from being sold in the U.S. Even this administration who talked big about better mileage during the 2008 campaign has stopped these engines from being sold here.

The only way to get these engines in cars here is by people becoming aware of the fact there are cars that are being made that get 78 MPG. We need to call and demand the access to them. What is absolutely disgusting is that these cars are made in the factories in the U.S. and are shipped overseas.

The government has kept us from them due to the taxes they get on gas and that amount of taxes would drop dramatically with better gas mileage cars.

WE THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO THE BEST MILEAGE CARS POSSIBLE! IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE OUR GOVERNMENT DOING THE BEST FOR US! WELL LETS DEMAND THEY DO THEIR BEST FOR THE PEOPLE AND NOT FOR THEMSELVES AND THE OIL COMPANIES!

One other thing, with oil at 96 per barrel right now - our gas prices should actually be in the low 2 dollar range NOT the mid 3 dollar range! We are being raped in every which way right now and our money is being sucked out from us in all ways to go to the government and the corporations.

  2. A bunch of one liners to grab your attention with no facts or references to back it up. Must be a radical. If you want me to believe, then show me proof of the government preventing these cars from coming into the USA. I am sure that if the manufacturers want to pay the import taxes then they can be sold here. Show us the proof, not your bable.

  4. Someone explain how a car that gets 60+ mpg on diesel fuel can pollute more than a car that get 40 mpg on the same diesel fuel.

  5. The problem in the US is that we have to be "TOLD" what we need, what we desire, and what we can buy. We are told that we don't want an underpowered vehicles, so we get the option of purchasing only larger engines. Nobody seems to want the underpowered 1.0 liter that was installed in my 1988 Chevrolet Sprint that got 57 mpg, with the A/C running. We want something that goes zero to sixty in 4 seconds, and we wonder why it only gets 15 mpg. When we quit acceptting what is forced upon us, THEN and only then will we get what we desire.
