well if we want to get really technical on the mpg, then i would look at some of the Canadian drivers that have driven smarts already.
this is from the guy at http://100mpg.ca/ and he has some really good numbers now his numbers are imperical, but he was consistently getting 7xmpg. i am hoping, now that the smart will be in the US that it would be easier to import them from canada. it has been impossible so far, but does anyone think this would be easier?

Smarts are cheap junk. I've driven one. You could not pay me to drive another.

for that price I'll wait for the Loremo. http://www.loremo.com/. Same price, waaaay better mileage and it even looks like a real car... performs kinda like a 240D too

Odd vehicle, that Loremo is; they thought outside of the box a bit.

looks cool, but i bet it wont come to the US easily. at least the smart has DaimlerChrysler behind it, which was the problem initially because of all the expensive hoops it had to jump through for EPA conformance. this is really expensive, and is one of the main reasons the US has not been able to get any Diesel Smarts or smarts of any kind from canada.
