I have no idea, and what do you mean by 'typical US car'? Like a US car model or just the fact Americans drive more?

A lot of Europeans do drive as much as Americans do, like me and truckers etc. Having 2,34 a liter here in NL makes that a pain in the arse.

Also: using more fuel on average doesn't invalidate that American fuel, compared to Europe, is dirt cheap.

Edit: also wanna add there are many 'American' cars on the road here, like Ford F-150s etc. They are imported, but have the same fuel consumption as the US variant, as being the same as the US variant.

> there are many 'American' cars on the road here

I'd say the Netherlands is the exception here, almost all such cars that I see on the roads (mostly in France) are from the Netherlands, along with some from Belgium.

They are also mostly driven by maniacs apparently.
