I've done a couple of Avis rentals in the US recently and noticed the same thing: if I put in US as my country of residence, I got a lower rate. Interestingly, I've never been questioned about it either.</font>
I'd have to think that lying to Avis about your country of residence is a violation of the Rental Agreement, which means that if anything were ever to happen to your rental car you could potentially be on the hook since most insurance will not cover a rental car if you violate the Rental Agreement.
