50+ MPG Cars Prohibited in the U.S. and Canada | 2012 The Big Picture

Or better: http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/07.13/50plus.html

The 35 MPG Camaros were sold to Australia, when the car owners here in the states talked with them they found out about the Easter egg.

I don't know if they are still in OBDII ECUs only the Camaro's ECUs of the 80s.

We get cheap gas and bad MPG overseas they pay more and get better MPG.

What can you teach us? Are you saying the computers are hobbled and we just need to unlock the Easter eggs? Why would the auto companies that are now challenged with finding high MPG do this?
