The conspiracy here is the Europeans have been enjoying High Mileage Diesels for decades without sacrificing power, torque, or top end speed. WTF?

Check out the Mazda Diesel Lineup in the UK.

So Americans get cars like the under powered Prius Hybrid, that can't pull itself out of a ditch. A gasoline engine is not suited to be an efficient high mileage power plant, all of Europe realizes this, so why don't we?

And NO, THESE ARE NOT METRIC specs! So you wan-a-bee mathematicians can keep your tard observations to yourself!
