For example, our gasoline per capita consumption is six times that in Europe. I think if we adopt stringent conservation measures as well as European style gasoline taxes, we will be able to cut our gasoline consumption by half (still three times more per capita than Europe).

On average US consumption is 2.2 times higher per capita than Western Europe. However some of the Eastern European countries such as Romania and Serbia are in the ballpark of a 6 to 1 ratio.
(The figures for Eastern Europe are from 4 years ago.. I suspect they have moved higher since then, as they have become more prosperous..)
