Mileage standards (and testing methods) should be the same for all countries... after all, the product is global.

Europe currently requires a 40 mpg average and it will go up to nearly 50 in the coming years.... and the US should do the same.

But nothing like that will happen in the US unless gas prices are taxed heavily and kept artificially high as they are in Europe.
