Is every light in the US a drag race ?
In which case that's your problem.
Why do you need to win, why do you even need to compete.

Exactly right. Every light in the US is not a drag race but, I'm sorry to say, Americans are most definitely hung up on power even though they rarely if ever get the chance to use it.
And to answer the OP's question the reason car makers don't sell more fuel efficient cars in the US is because they WON'T SELL. Not some grand government conspiracy. The car makers will sell us whatever 'we' want however 'we' have spoken, and loud and clear, that 'we' want big, fast cars and trucks. End of story. When enough people demand fuel efficiency over big and fast then they will import those vehicles.
