The hubby also pointed this out today:

U.S. ‘stuck in reverse’ on fuel economy
Only two super-efficient cars available, down from five, study shows

...CSI found that the number of vehicle models sold in the United States that achieve combined gas mileage of at least 40 miles per gallon actually has dropped from five in 2005 to just two in 2007 — the Honda Civic hybrid and the Toyota Prius hybrid.

Overseas, primarily in Europe, there are 113 vehicles for sale that get a combined 40 mpg, up from 86 in 2005...

Does this strike anyone else as totally bonkers?
