My Toyota MR2 (or spyder in the US), is a 23 MpG car or 10l/100km car (in real driving conditions), in its "little" 1.8L NA 140bhp engine. I love it, cause it always travels sideways.

Bear with me in a small trip to conversion units:

100km in Europe for my car is 10lt, which costs here 15Euros, which is over there 20.71$, that you can use to buy 6.17gallons and travel in my car 141.85 miles, or 228 km. Let me make it clear: 100km in Europe cost the same as 228km in the US. So being the no1 superpower in the world, owning and stealing most of earth's petrol, establishing regimes and governments has its benefits. When the price of gasoline there is 8$/gallon, then come back and ask for the FT86 to have a 5.0L or 6.0L engine or even automatic gearbox. And when that time comes, I will be going sideways in my 2.0L FThachiroku, waving at the other side of the Atlantic, at people who prefer driving sideways a 60:40 weight ratio car rather than a 50:50 weight ratio car and spending three times as much!
By the time gas has hit that price even the bleeding heart environmentalists won't be able to stop an overall push to have the Government allow additional drilling in our oil reserves still in the U.S., of which its estimated there's enough (consider off-shore as well) to last the U.S. and then some ~100 years, without importing a single drop.

Stealing oil, good grief....Mr. Rosie O'Donnell isn't the only American y'know? And (s)he certainly isn't the brightest.
