I am from Brazil, and even though the fuel consumption here is lower than in the U.S. it's often done in a more inefficient way. Cost of implementing some cleaner tech is challenging, and so is providing maintenance and technical support to avoid turning back to "traditional" stuff that may be actually more harmful to the environment. That's why we still see people cooking with wood fire in Brazil, or adapting carburettors to cars originally fitted with EFI in Argentina, among other issues.
