Well, we could make smaller engined, affordable and gas efficient cars like they do in other countries. We traveled around Europe last year and saw many vehicles that never make it to the USA. We rented a small 4cly (5 passenger) and even doing 160kmph on the autobahn, we didn’t need as much gas as we would need here. I was fascinated by the many different makes that were available there.

Husband and I have been shopping for a new GAS EFFICIENT car that meets or exceeds the good gas mileage we get with our Saturns (one gets almost 40 and the other around 35...they got even better before ethanol was added).

We do not want a small car because my husband has issues with getting in and out of the vehicle due to hip problems. It’s quite hard to find anything for a decent price. We do NOT want a hybrid because of the cost of electricity.

At this point we are considering the Hyundai Elantra.

That's cause they won't sell them here because they don't want to have to deal with our CAFE standards and other government regs.
