Europe gets 50 miles to the gallon for TWO reasons:

1) Price of gas is aroung $10 per gallon last I heard. Not sure of how high it really is, but it costs a LOT more in Europe than in the USA.

2) Because of the high price of gas, most drive smaller cars with 2 and 3 cylinder engines. Also, larger engines are heavily taxed in Europe.

Now, if you want to drive a golf cart with a Kohler Command V-twin powering it, with few if any comfort items, you also can get 50 miles to the gallon.
BUT...forget about the power equipment like power steering, power brakes, power mirrors, power door locks, power sliding doors, etc. And while you are at it, forget the air conditioner as well.
