What is the ranking for? It does not look like it is the best MPG...

The Toyota Camry has a worse MPG average than the ForTwo but is ranked 6th... It looks like it is the most fuellys reporting their MPG...

1. Volkswagen Jetta (1220)
2. Honda Civic (824)
3. Honda Accord (502)
4. Toyota Tacoma (344)
5. Toyota Corolla (324)
6. Toyota Camry (320)
7. Toyota Prius (278)
8. Volkswagen Golf (273)
9. Mazda 3 (256)
10. Smart Fortwo (242)

How can we rank the cars per MPG on Fuelly?

How can we see the average MPG for all the ForTwo?

I'm pretty sure it's just the top ten by number of vehicles of that make 'parked' at Fuelly.

Unfortunately, Fuelly hasn't done any of those nifty comparison things. I've done it a couple times manually with a copy/paste into Excel and some manipulation. See: Fuelly Vehicle Comparisons: Part Two

Thanks... Now I have an idea on the "real" average MPG for the Smart.

I still dont know how most of the people are getting 40MPG average... I am keeping track of my MPG also but only get an average of 33-34MPG. I NEVER got more than 36MPG.

And I tried to do a full tank not going over 2,000 RPM, Neutral downhill.... And got a 35MPG.... I did half city/half highway...

Are the people who are getting 40MPG just getting towed half the time? :-) how are you driving your car to get a 42.9MPG avg?

Nah, nothing fancy here... Besides driver behavior, the other thing you can't escape is environment. You obviously do a lot of city driving, whereas I live in a rural state and commute about 75 miles a day on two lane roads averaging less than 60 mph most of the time. With the long commutes, my car has fewer warm-ups per tank and I spend 98% of my time in 5th gear. I use cruise control when I can and I have a preferred gas station that sells no/low ethanol blend fuel (the car likes it best for MPGs).

On the flip side, I have hills to climb that cut efficiency, I'm running 195/50 all-season tires all the way around versus the skinny stockers, and I like to go for some back road mountain carving every now and then.

The bottom line: everyone's driving conditions and styles are so different that it's nearly impossible to do an apples-apples comparison.

I finally am averaging 36 and hoping for 37 which is what the most number of smarts are averaging on Fuelly.

is anyone using the new text message posting of fill ups?

I've been tracking my mileage on Fuelly for quite a while and I'm seeing 43 mpg consistently. I can't imagine what I'd have to do to get lower mileage. No matter what I do I get 43. Every once in a while it goes up or down by a few MPG but not too often.

I see people talking about not driving up and down hills but I live in Denver and the best mileage I ever got was driving to Vail. I got 48 MPG on that trip. It seems like the long coast back down to Denver using almost no gas at all takes precedence over the long up hill climbs.

I also don't drive like a grandma either (actually mine drove like a bat out of hell ). I go 4 over the limit everywhere and pass when necessary. I certainly don't baby it off the line either.
