Why do cars sold in Europe seem to get better gas mileage than the US?

Watching top gear (UK), they discussed a VW (diesel) that got 74mpg. That is a huge jump from the US where the average seems to be around 40mpg, excluding hybrids, etc.

Whats with this? Why is the US mpg so low? I know safety standards are different, but the difference is massive.

Unrelated questions; is it legal to drive a right hand drive in the US? How does one go about getting a European car in the US?
