Smart Fortwo tops among non-hybrids in EPA mileage ratings - AutoWeek Magazine

Since there will be a hybrid Smart in the future, it will probably be among the top in that category too.

Same as the 08 model, not surprising since there's really no difference between the two.

This is why I like coming to this forum

People here get this car.

Reading the post on that site is just like listening to all the other Idiots folks here complain about. Uneducated about the car and boasting how there smog belching, unsafe older cars get almost as good a milage as the smart.

From what I have read, the MAJOR difference which ALL of you can get is the new software upgrade to the tranny. One poster just got the newer transmission and said it runs way better then the old. I forgot to ask today at the dealer if they can update the software for the old cars. But I don't see why not. If anyone can aswer that question then maybe you all would be even happier.

Saw that post, but haven't seen anything from smart on any sort of tweak or upgrade for transmission software. May be an urban legend in the making.
