> The problem is that currently people are buying an F-150 when it's not fine for them. In your opinion. > Also, apparently, US fuel efficiency rules seem to encourage larger cars, which are less fuel efficient. I'm not sure where you get that idea from. We're generally less sensitive to fuel economy because gasoline in the US is cheap - because it's not taxed to the hilt (I'd be happy to pay higher taxes for universal healthcare, but that's another hot topic). > This discrepancy is causing problems with lots of people driving trucks far bigger than what they need. Again, "need" is subjective. You're in the EU and you have your own mindset that's very different from the vast majority of American's mindset (I would know, my parents are EU immigrants.) Nothing wrong with difference of opinions...but you're not going to change people's minds here with these arguments.
