[jwight]

Modified from someone else's posted on the forum, plus added a second page to address the safety and mileage questions we all seem to get.

Thanks jwight - Sometimes, I have to cut people off or ignore them and I do feel bad about that, but after 20 minutes with a crowd of eight to ten people firing questions, these will come in handy!!!

You are welcome; I added the EPA mileage info to address all the "my [fill in the blank] gets 40 mpg" type of comments I hear. Not worth trying to correct them, they can read the EPA numbers for themselves.

THANKS!

great 'hand out'. now, can you just send me a smart?

seriously, i was looking at the MPG comparisons of the vehicles and i didn't see the Suzuki Reno. small, 5 door vehicle which you would think would get decent mileage. rating? 19 City/28 Hwy!!! THAT SUCKS! hey, my Jeep Compass 4X4 is rated at 21/26 and i get 26+ on the Highway.

anyway, thanks again. just need a smart to keep them in.......

i hear that all the time too.....people don't realize the EPA is rating vehicles differently for 2008. maybe you should include the 2007 EPA figures for comparison. weren't they something like 40/45?

Think I need a third sheet now - It's not electric, it's not a hybrid, it's not diesel, and it's not the $2,500 car from India.

While similar in nature, using a business card design my smart info handout contains minimalist information and lists both 07 & 08 EPA ratings.

Have a smart day!

LOL ... I could cut off 45 minutes of discuss with just this one sentence.

there was also a nicely-designed one from car and driver floating around here somewhere.
