because they are very economical to maintain and fuel efficient. In general,
American cars are neither economical to run nor efficient with fuel
However, in comparison to other
developed nations, gas in America
is still reasonably priced. Americans, therefore, tend to clock in more miles
on their cars every year because of the larger distances covered
in getting from place to place. While Japan
is well-connected by its excellent railroad system, America prides herself on her vast
