The reason Eruope gets them is because gas is much more expensive.

Yeah No offense to anyone here but whats happening in the car industry is not likely that they are listening to us. They are finally listening to people they pay to do this. They have hundreds of Mechanical engineers on their staff designing optimum flow water pumps and stupid items. Now they redeployed them to design the car itself. Most
Engineers that I know outside of car industries go home and do this to their cars anyway without every having heard of hypermiling.

There are alot of things on here that surface either just as someone develops or ahead of so I'm not saying its reinventing the wheel, just that its unlikely people who have spent 20 years designing cars are going to learn much from those of us(speaking for me) that can only put it together if all the proper pieces and tools are laid out.
