As one trying to get my first Smart, I have found this forum quite useful for information, especially for a beginner like me. I have gone "green" and bought a Civic Hybrid a few months ago. I will use the hybrid on the freeway and the Smart on city streets. I just configured and I ordered the Cabrio. Now I am just waiting for that phone call to pick it up.

Keep up the good work, Toxdan.

Welcome! Check out the Ohio Chapter forum and watch for info on a smart meet at the new Cincy smart center after it's up and running.

why - don't those hybrids get better mileage in the city then on the highway?
you'll probably do better using the cars the other way around?!

At the moment I am getting 50 mpg on my hybrid because 75% of my driving to work and back is on the freeway. I don't think the Smart will do that well but let me know what the mpg is for the Smart on the freeway.

Thanks, Toxdan
