One of the things I tell people about my Smart is, not many on the road at the moment, wait till next year, they will be like those little black ants, they will be everywhere. Last tank I got 41.2 MPG, the car has just short of 1100 miles on it. Before that I was averaging around 38-39 MPG. I do not drive for gas milage, I just go, but I love it when I high MPG. Very few hills around here, lots of short trips, no much stop and go traffic, about 10 miles to work, 5 on surface streets and 5 on the local freeway. I took it to a local Cruise In for Hot Rods and Muscle cars, it drew more attention that many high dollar cars. It was worth the wait.
