Fuel efficiency came a long way since then, but the relative difference between US and European vehicles seams to be the same. My memory must be slipping because I don't recall Ford or General Motors having something similar to a VW Lupo 3L (78 mpg US) or the VW 1L (235 mpg US)

You are right, US did not have it in the past and do not have it today. High standard innovated designs, if it concerns safety or fuel efficiency, but also high cost, are European hall marks. I agree with you that the gap might have been widening, between nothing and active research and

Mopeds are defined by the engine and weight, the weight I do not remember straight off but the engine had to be under 50 cc. I Sweden they had an additional restriction and that was that they would not go faster than 30 kmph, which was achieved by reducing the carburetor intake and I do no know
