First of all apologies if this is wrong place, but the community here is well experienced and have hardly seen any knee-jerk replies, hence posting here.
I just came back from a month-long travel in India. My brother has Nissan Sunny, that pretty much looks like Nissan versa exterior, but interiors are much better. He has a diesel (shift stick) version and gets 24 km/liter, thats like 56 miles/gallon. I was totally blown away. We drove about 1000 miles in a month and I calculated myself (rather than relying on car indicator).
My 2006 Sentra gives me ~20 miles/gallon, and I don't see the numbers changing much even in the new cars. I am really curious why such engines are not introduced in the US, esp. when we drive a ton more than any average Indian car user.
Thanks in advance.
