Well if you want performance you have to pay for it.
My bike at best does 22 kilos to 1 litre of petrol.
My 1•9 Isuzu driving like a granny can do 20 + kilos to a litre.
No experience of US so I would guess as an immigrant allowed in USA and getting work is a lot better than an immigrant getting work in Thailand without assistance.

If you don't like it you know what to do leave it alone or go somewhere else.
