I snapped that photo in Munich a couple of weeks ago. Gas prices are the reason why many Europeans buy small vehicles - if it's too costly to fill a big vehicle, they'll go for a smaller one.
But in North America, we distribute tax money to companies for them to make alternative vehicles such as electrics and fuel cells, and then expect them to compete in a marketplace where gas is relatively cheap. Read my rant in Sympatico Autos by clicking here.

I’m a freelance writer and a member of the Automobile Journalists of Canada. My regular outlets include new-car reviews and special-interest articles for The Toronto Star (Wheels section); new-car reviews and features for Sympatico Autos; reviews and a technology column for the Toronto-area newspaper Metro; articles on antique cars for Old Autos Newspaper; and articles in the industry trade magazines Collision Management, Fleet Digest and Tire News. You can still find my work at Autos.ca, where I wrote reviews and features, and was the Assistant Editor.
But I’m more than just cars: I also write about food and drink, travel, pen collecting, celebrity interviews and pets, among others. My work has appeared in such publications as Sharp For Men, Maclean's, Harrowsmith Country Life, Pen World, Dogs In Canada, Gambit, Where New Orleans, Rural Delivery and Writer’s Journal.
