Does anyone know the name of car made in Germany that gets 70 mile per hour?

Question

I heard that Germany has built a car that gets 70 miles per gal. Why isn't the US checking this out?

Answer 1

Because the US is too wrapped up in its "me first - who cares if I waste?" mentality.

I have a 2002 VW diesel that gets 50 mpg, but I've not heard of one with 70, though I do not doubt it.

Answer 2

If true, it will not pass emission standards in USA.

Europe does not have EPA.
