They conserve, by dint of not being huge. America has huge open spaces
to traverse. We live further from work than Europeans. The distance
from Iowa to New York is greater than the total size of entire
=countries= in Europe.

They don't need cheap fuel as much as America does.


And _gasoline_ in Europe is cheaper than in the USA. The trouble is it
is sold bundled with lots of _taxes_.
