Several years back Ford had a little three cyl diesel car in Asia that got over 70mpg but you never saw it here.
I saw this car in Taiwan with my own eyes.
Did it have all of the US mandated safety and environmental features?

Yeah, that thing would probably get totaled if you hit a speed bump too hard.

Well, I didn't ask for the EPA and DOT reports but it looked a hell of a lot safer than say the new Fiats or that Smartcar death-trap.
And having dealt with EPA compliance from my time in the powersports business; if we could make a 2 stroke engine EPA compliant, that little diesel would have been a walk in the park.
