Is The U.S. Government Deliberately Suppressing Fuel Efficiency?

 Most people would logically believe that the U.S. government works for the citizens of America – after all, that is why we continue to pay taxes, right?  The perceived good intentions of the American government are increasingly being called into question even among the previously naive, as government collusion with big business often takes precedence over the individual or even society as a whole.

A recent video is going viral showing an American man describing his European vacation experience in a rental Volkswagon Passat while in the UK. He was shocked to see the vehicle was getting 50+ miles-per-gallon carrying four adults and hefty luggage. He discovered that without the typical vacation load, the UK’s VW Passat could run a whopping 65+ miles per gallon.
