Those are really great numbers and I'm envious. A lot of news lately about the accuracy of our gas pumps, and in fact are we getting the correct octane as advertised. I recently short filled, just flipped to two bars and took 7 1/2 gallons! That gave me under 30 mpg and I had been driving very conservately.

I was just trying to keep the OP happy. It's OK to have a little fart. No matter how far.

In the spirits of 'fart'ing around...
I've been farting in my smart since January 24 2008.
Miles driven as of June 20 = 6075 miles
Problems encountered = 0
Oil Change = 1 at 5800 miles.
Average mpg = 38.2
Highest 42.86. Lowest 34.5

I drove somewhat conservatively for about 4000 miles. Lately, I've been driving a bit more aggressively.
