Why is US gas mileage so poor compared to the same car in Europe?

∙ 12y ago
Most midsize European cars are diesel which gives more miles per gallon.
In the UK, an imperial gallon measurement is larger than the US gallon. An imperial gallon is 4 Liters. A US gallon is about 3.78 Liters. Therefore, a UK car gets more miles per "gallon". Note that the diesels do get much better mileage than gas engines, even after you convert to the same unit of measurement.
