Driving in Germany
Ok, so I made a mistake earlier. We aren't driving a Peugeot 206, but rather a Peugeot 207. Can I get a collective "Ohhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhh" from all of you?! Anyway, I put in 34.45 liters of diesel this morning (9.10 gallons) and saw that we had traveled 576 km (357.9 miles). That works out to a little more than 39 miles per gallon! This with me traveling at the speed of sound along the autobahn! Why can't we get this back in the States?

You can't get this back in the states because our highway system, though intended to be fashioned after the Autobahn, was designed to cut as stright a swath as possible across the US. In doing so, the designers unwittingly created highways that are much more conducive to accidents BECAUSE of their lack of curves, which basically keep things interesting and help prevent "Highway Hypnosis".
At least, this is what they said on The History Channel, and it sounded good to me. You should do more laundry. It's where I learn what little history I know.
