I was just over in SouthWest England (Exeter). Many cars get over 60 MPG
and several get 80+. These are small (by US standards) 2 - 4 seater,

It is worth noting that UK MPG are always more than US MPG as a UK
gallon is 20% more than the US gallon
As a side note; I am an engineer and in the UK I worked in metric units,
in the US I work in English units!!
