seen a web page that shows a citroen gets 62.80 mpg is that MPG same as us mpg? I'm sure it is but w.t.h why are we not getting 62.80mpg? Citroen Retail Group | New & Used Citroen | Citroen C3 | Citroen Picasso ???

Our cars are too big. This car you mention has a motorcycle engine (998 cc). The curb weight is about 1700 pounds. Some places in Europe use imperial gallons so their mpg ratings would be different. Don't know if that's the case here. Just a few reasons.

us emissions / us suv safety standards suck..

too bad chevy, ford, chrysler have no real incentive to build something similar so those that do will bring theirs to the us..

or even for the extreme (but supposed to be vailable via special order in europe?)

Well, Chevy just announced they'll be bringing over a diesel engine for the Cruze in 2013. Its about time they started bringing over diesels IMO. Also, Ford is doing the same as Chevy and putting a 1.0L turbo engine in the Fiesta in the future as well. More horsepower than the 1.6L and better mileage.

i heard that today too, they will probably be a $5000 option making the cars $30k..
