I'm sure there's a few petrolheads among us.
So what do folks drive?
my current toy, runnign just shy of 400bhp 😄
Are not the roads in Ireland about 4' wide? (Yes I know that is exaggerated. I'l let you decide though if I meant bigger or smaller. )

Well of course. That's all you need for two donkeys to pass each other.

Why are all American cars "Gas" guzzlers? Yet European cars are more Petrol friendly?
For a 4WD V6 mine gets 23.9 GPM, I think that's pretty ok considering the roads I drive and the weather I have to contend with. It's a trade off my friend.

One solid Canadian winter should resolve that last question. Places are farther apart, and the trips are more often across large unpopulated spaces as opposed to short hops through highly populated areas, and less population density means more risk if you get off the road. Plus, there's a little more assumption of having the right-of-way in North American driving, which coupled with the winter weather makes many glad for the extra physical buffer zones.
Most of the Canadian road infrastructure post-dates the modern full size vehicles, unlike most European cities, so it was designed with the larger vehicles in mind as opposed to the other way around.

I knew there was a reason for liking you. You got the 6.0 L or the diesel? 6.0 here.
6 L.
Stayed away from the half ton 'cause I did not want to look like the front end was jacked up carrying a load of mulch.
Weekend warrior stuff that is. (Wish I could use the word I want there.)

I used to have a Tacoma. Loved that truck!!! It was awesome in the snow. Now I drive a Kia Sedona. You know, the old family friendly mini van!!!
In the summer I use the most efficient means of transporation you will ever find.
2000 miles baby. That is a lot of gas savings!!!!
