Why is it that the autos manufactured in the UK and Europe achieve better mileage than those in the US? Here is a like to above 50 mpg autos available in the UK. Vauxhall (a GM company) has several models in this list.
I did a quick google search and couldn't find a previous thread discussing this so thought I'd ask.
I was tempted to believe the engines weren't putting out the hp of US engines but after driving a Vauxhall Astra that dispelled that belief as it put any four cylinder car I've driven in the US to shame. (JMO)
