In europe, the 1l engines are widely and more commonly used in city drive conditions. 60hp on average, 100mph max on highways.

I drive a 1.6l 115hp which doesn't use a lot of gas, around 8liters (2.5galons?) per 100km (60miles), 0-60mph in 11seconds, 120mph max speed and fits all my needs.

Yet, in the states, 2l engines are considered bare minimum? Whats up with that, because the gas was cheap until now or something?
