Smart fortwo - 40 MPG
I heard theres a car called the Smart fortwo which will get 40MPG city and 45MPG highway. Anybody on here have one?

there was a thread on here just a few days ago (maybe a week or so) here it is. I am suprised that wasabi hasn't chimed in on this one.

My 83 Sentra got 42 MPG and could hold more people. Does Smart have anything better?

You would think that a car that small, light, and with an engine of that size, would get better mileage than it does. But maybe I'm wrong.

I went to buy potting soil at Walmart and got 36mpg going and 42mpg coming back using a 45-60mph pulse and glide in my Cavalier. |
Given that many people here get substantially better mileage than EPA estimates, I wonder how a Smart would do in the hands of one of our members?

I really think I could get 70mpg out of it with some good pulse and glide action.

Guys I justed raced in the One Lap Of America during the week of May 3-10. They did have one of these Smart cars entered. I talked it over with him about his mileage and it was not getting in 40's. I think he said in the low 30's but I do not know how they were drving it. It does run 19.7 1/4 mile at 72 mph. He was drafting me at some point later in the wk and the car would go 90mph. Oh yeah our vette only get 20-22 on the highway.....

Why spring for a new car that only gets 40mpg? :confused: My 12 year old Civic does better than that, for a fraction of the cost.

I think the Smart smartly sucks. My 44 mpg nonhypermiled 99 Civic HX M/T is way better. No premium gas needed too. Would be nice to see what a hypermiler can do on one though.
