I totally agree. It's just that we need the high efficiency to go with the high prices.

If America had access to all the efficient cars and trucks that the European and world markets get, we could trim our fuel bill quite a bit. I'd buy what GM, Ford and Chrysler sell overseas in a heartbeat if it was sold here.
