It can get to below zero often in Europe--have you ever been to Germany, Italy, Norway, or Denmark? It doesn't get too cold in most of the US states except AK and the northern ones--try living in Canada for awhile--that is the same longitude as most European countries. obadiah,
What weather map are you looking at? It can get to below zero often in Europe–have you ever been to Germany, Italy, Norway, or Denmark? It doesn’t get too cold in most of the US states except AK and the northern ones–try living in Canada for awhile–that is the same longitude as most European countries.

I'm happy with that. I can afford the gas. No problem. I'm not a Euro-Weenie socialist who needs to drive a politically correct clown car. Oh, and I also own a twin-engined Beech Baron airplane that gets about two miles a gallon. But I guess the Euro-Weenies, impoverished from socialism, can't afford those, let alone the fuel, so we'll leave it at that. I drive a full sized Ford pickup truck that gets 16 mpg.

I owned a Ford pickup for a while. I owned a gas guzzling 67 Ford Mustang. I've driven an Explorer and a Dodge Carivan. All those sucked down gas. They were also horrible quality. My Honda is great on Fuel. I drove from Nashville Tenn. to Lexington Kentucky on 3/4 a tank. Not too shabby. Our problem is that our culture reveres the Hummer H2's of the world. We don't care about 12 MPG as long as we have social status. I think our mentality is foolish, and the lemmings of this nation are fully to blame for the rise in price at the pump. Gasoline is obsolete. We should already have alternative energy in place, but the big oil companies won't let that happen. They have lobbiests blocking positive legislation. They buy out small companies that work on alternatives, and they buy patents on new ideas that could some day put them out of business. What do we do? Sit back and take it. I guess oil is a great lubricant for that sort of thing too... Write your representatives and senators people. If enough people shout, they have to start listening! Big oil is killing our country, all for a stack of nickles in their pocket today, with no regard for tomorrow. //Rant over I am an American who happily drives my 4-cylinder Honda, and I love it.

Also, it gets to -40 in my neck of the woods every winter, but our little cars have no problems. Oh, and we have lots of Smart cars driving around here, too...talk about small...no problems in winter. The thing is, here in Sweden, you don't see hundreds of SUVs on the road with just one person in them running to pick up a Coke at the 7-11. It is a mindset, folks...now change yours.

Do you have any idea how cold it gets in Norway, Sweden, Finland, or Russia? The "smaller" engines used in Europe work just fine in Scandinavia and Russia. Engine displacement is irrelevant. obadiah wrote

In Texas, there ae LOTS of very large trucks on the road-- when you see a small hybrid or tiny eco friendly car, the first thing you think is "My truck would kill that car if we got into an accident". I would never put my family in one of those simply due to the risk of getting into an accident with the large vehicles that crowd the rest of it.
