Born/raised in Europe (Russia) 1972-1992, but never been to Europe since
1992 (and dont want to... liberals, except UK or Italy) and Russia circa

subway (Metro) of St Petersburg and Moscow is world-famous. I started
driving only here in the states, and my thing makes 40+mpg after relieving
it of unnecessary weight (2004 Nissan Sentra, unladen, even one seat & spare
tire removed)
